Witness Assessment

3.9.1

KAN performs witness assessment at selected audit performed by the CAB to
ensure that the CAB is competent in carrying out their certification services
for the applicable scopes applied and conforms to the relevant standard(s)
and other requirements for accreditation.
Determination of scopes to be witnessed
a. Some aspects which are considered in determining of scopes to be
witnessed are:
- potential risk having for any scopes
- number and performance of auditor/evaluator/examiner/
expert/sampling officer for each scopes
- most scope of certification issued
- availability of audit/examination program
- feedback from interested parties
b. Within one accreditation cycle, witnesses should cover all potential risks
having for accreditation scope (high, medium, and low) for an
accreditation scheme which have such levels of potential risks such as
management systems and HACCP, if applicable.
c. Composition of witnesses number for Management System CABs consist
of 60 % high risk scope, 30 % for medium risk of scope, and 10% for low
risk of scope. Since the CBs have accreditation scope with two risk
categories such as high risk and medium risk, high risk and low risk, or
medium risk and low risk, even the calculation of the witness number
composition using comparative grade 60 : 40. Since the CBs have
accreditation scope with one risk categories scope, there is no
composition.

3.9.2

3.9.3

Determination of witness number for initial accreditation and scope extension
For processing of initial accreditation, and extension of accreditation scope,
witnesses number will be determined by refer to table 1 below. Type of audit
which might be witnessed is initial certification/re-certification or surveillance
audit which covers all certification requirements.

DPUM 01

Revision : 10

Date: 17 November 2016

a. Determination of witnesses number to be performed should be conducted
after an accreditation granted and should evaluate each year within an
accreditation cycle refers to table 2 (for all accreditation schemes except
personnel), while determination of witnesses number for personnel CB
refers to table 3.
b. If CAB can maintain the satisfactory performance continuously within two
(2) accreditation cycles, the number of witness can be reduced at
maximum 2 witnesses, however the lowest witnesses number to be
performed to the CAB are 2.
c. If there is negative feedback from interested parties on the performance
of the CAB, the number of witnesses can be added at minimum one
witness.
EXAMPLE:

witnesses should be performed during accreditation cycle are 4 witnesses, than during the
first year of accreditation the witnesses conducted was 1.

mean the witnesses should be performed during accreditation cycle are 6 witnesses, than
