Answer
Yes, Part-IS implementation and/or its compliance monitoring function can be subcontracted. It is important to note that the responsibility for performing tasks pertinent to Part-IS can be transferred, accountability however cannot. The organisation subject to Part-IS is always accountable for the implementation of the rule and for demonstration of compliance to the rule. This should be clarified in the agreement between the organisation subject to Part-IS and the subcontractor.
