ISO 28003:2007 contains principles and requirements for bodies providing the audit and certification of supply chain security management systems according to management system specifications and standards such as ISO 28000.

It defines the minimum requirements of a certification body and its associated auditors, recognizing the unique need for confidentiality when auditing and certifying/registering a client organization.

The contents of ISO 28003:2007 may also be used to support certification of supply chain security management systems that are based on other specified supply chain security management system requirements.
