20、16ISO/IEC 29169:2016(E)IntroductionJTC 1s policy on conformity assessment is stated in the Consolidated JTC1 Supplement, 2015. To promote consistent implementation of standards, JTC 1 has resolved that it shall be a major contributor to international acceptance of conformity assessment procedures an

21、d specifications for IT related areas, and that it shall work to support an environment which encourages worldwide recognition of conformity assessment results.Each JTC 1 Subcommittee has the authority and responsibility to specify the conformity assessment methodology applicable to any distinct are

22、a of Information Technology that is entirely within the scope of that Subcommittee.In the conformity assessment area, JTC 1s objectives include the facilitation of mutual recognition of accreditation, test reports, certification and registration in the IT field, primarily by developing appropriate s

23、tandards, and recognition of Suppliers Declaration as a legitimate statement of conformity.To support JTC1s objectives of mutual recognition of accreditation, test reports, certification, registration, and recognition of a suppliers declaration of conformity, a conformity assessment methodology for

24、the assessment of process quality characteristics and organizational process maturity is defined in this International Standard which provides for an environment for and encourages the worldwide recognition of conformity assessment results.The overall framework for conformity assessment follows the

25、approach defined in ISO/IEC 17020, which covers inter alia the functions of bodies whose work includes the examination of processes, and the determination of their conformity, with requirements, and the subsequent reporting of results of these activities to clients and, when required, to supervisory

26、 authorities. Such work normally requires the exercise of professional judgement in providing the service, in particular when assessing conformity.ISO/IEC 17020 is used in the context of first, second and third party assessments resulting in the issuance of a conformity assessment report and stateme

27、nt of conformity. Where continuing assurance is needed or desirable to maintain the validity of an assessment result, the scope of conformity assessment can be extended to include periodic surveillance within a defined cycleAdditionally, ISO/IEC 17065 can be used as an alternative approach but only

28、in the context of a third-party certification body using an audit approach typically with the issuance non conformity reports.This International Standard has been developed following application of use in the field and in consultation with key stakeholders, national accreditation bodies, ISOs policy

29、 committee for conformity assessment (CASCO) and the International Certification Network (IQNet Association).

30、ocess quality characteristics and organizational maturity1 ScopeThis International Standard aims to define the application of a conformity assessment methodology, based on the existing published ISO/IEC standards and guides, to the process assessment of process quality characteristics and organizati

31、onal process maturity, performed in accordance with the requirements of the ISO/IEC 33001 to ISO/IEC 33099 family of process assessment standards,Conformity assessment, also known as compliance assessment, is any activity to determine, directly or indirectly, that a process, product, or service meet

32、s relevant standards and fulfils relevant requirements. The subject of conformity assessment activities may include testing, inspection or certification.Conformity assessment in this International Standard can be performed by various types of bodies that meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020.The te

33、rm “inspection” as used in ISO/IEC 17020 is synonymous with the term “process assessment” as defined in ISO/IEC 33001 and used throughout the ISO/IEC 33001 to ISO/IEC 33099 family of standards.While a process assessment may be performed solely according to the ISO/IEC 33002 requirements for performi

34、ng an assessment, performing a process assessment in the context of conformity assessment according to a conformity assessment scheme brings with it additional requirements. Conformity assessment involves a functional approach consisting of a number of stages: selectiondeterminationreview and attest

35、ation, plus surveillance when there is a need to provide continuing assurance of conformity.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

38、/IEC 33020, ISO/IEC 17000 and ISO/IEC 17020 apply.NOTE 1 Where the term conformity assessment is used, the definition in ISO/IEC 17000 applies.NOTE 2 Wherever the term assessment is used without the word conformity (e.g. assessment, process assessment, conformant process assessment, assessment body)

39、, the relevant ISO/IEC 33001 definitions apply.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 29169:2016(E) ISO/IEC 2016 All rights reserved 1BS ISO/IEC 29169:2016ISO/IEC 29169:2016(E)NOTE 3 The term inspection as used in ISO/IEC 17020 is synonymous with the term process assessment as defined in ISO/IEC 33001 and u

40、sed throughout the ISO/IEC 33001 to ISO/IEC 33099 family of standards.NOTE 4 Both ISO/IEC 17020 and ISO/IEC 33002 refer to the independence of the different types of bodies. In order to clearly distinguish terminology used in the standards, ISO/IEC 17020 uses the term Type to identify the three type

41、s of inspection body (Types A, B and C); whereas, ISO/IEC 33002 uses the term Category to categorize the independence of different types of body and the make-up of the assessment team performing an assessment (Categories A, B, C and D).4 Concepts of conformity assessment4.1 Conformity assessmentISO/

42、IEC 17000 defines conformity assessment as: demonstration that specified requirements relating to a product, process, system, person, or body are fulfilled.The term object of conformity assessment, or sometimes just object, is used in ISO/IEC 17000 to refer to “product, process, system, person or bo

43、dy”.4.2 Conformity assessment and standardsIn the context of conformity assessment there are two major aspects of standardization.The first aspect is the availability of national, regional and international standards that can be used by suppliers, purchasers, conformity assessment bodies and regulat

44、ors for setting the requirements for an object and assessing its conformity with them.The essential features of a standard to be used for conformity assessment are that the standard must be so written that it can be applied by any of the following: a manufacturer or supplier (first party); a user or

45、 purchaser (second party); an independent body (third party).The relevant standard with reference to this International Standard is the ISO/IEC 33001 to ISO/IEC 33099 family of standards on process assessment, where ISO/IEC 33002 defines the requirements for performing process assessment.The scope o

46、f the standard should also be clearly stated in terms both of the type of objects to which it relates and to the characteristics of those objects which it specifies.The type of objects with reference to this International Standard is the process (es) within the scope of an ISO/IEC 33002 process asse

47、ssment. The relevant characteristic of the objects is the selected process quality characteristic.The second aspect of particular relevance to conformity assessment bodies is the availability of standards which set out requirements for best practice of conformity assessment and the bodies which carr

48、y it out. These standards are intended to ensure that there are consistent and internationally harmonized practices amongst conformity assessment bodies and the bodies with which they work (such as accreditation bodies). The responsibility for preparation and maintenance of these conformity assessme

49、nt standards lies with ISO/CASCO.The relevant standard with reference to this International Standard is ISO/IEC 17020.2 ISO/IEC 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 29169:2016ISO/IEC 29169:2016(E)4.3 Conformity assessment bodiesISO/CASCO standards and guides define the characteristics for a number of different types of conformity assessment bodies. ISO/IEC 17020 sets out three types of inspection bodies (Types A, B, and C) with different requirements for independence.ISO/IEC 33002:2015, Annex A sets out a typology t
