CEN-CLC/JTC 1 ‘Criteria for conformity assessment bodies’ will work on the development of EN ISO/IEC 17007, an important standard on guidance for drafting normative documents suitable for use for conformity assessment. This work is important for a myriad of organizations as it provides principles and guidance for developing normative documents that contain specified requirements for objects of conformity assessment to fulfil, and specified requirements for conformity assessment systems that can be employed when demonstrating whether an object of conformity assessment fulfils specified requirements. This document is intended for use by standards developers not applying the ISO/IEC Directives, industry associations and consortia, purchasers, regulators, consumers, non-governmental groups, accreditation bodies, conformity assessment bodies, conformity assessment scheme owners, and other interested parties, such as insurance organizations.
CEN-CLC JTC 1 ‘Criteria for conformity assessment bodies’ will work in parallel with ISO CASCO on the revision of EN ISO/IEC 17020, the standard on the requirements for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection. It will also work on the revision of EN ISO/IEC 17067 dedicated to the fundamentals of product certification and guidelines for product certification schemes.
