So, to summarise, we need:
A) An audit to an approved standard, listed in policy section 8
B) Performed by a competent and independent body in which we have
confidence, with criteria listed in policy section 9 and 10
C) Which makes a public statement to that effect
?
And there is no reason that the body in B) should not be a government or
government-appointed, as long as we continue to have confidence in them.
We are allowed to refuse any CA for any reason under policy section 4.
OK, I can buy that.
