19、 IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal wit
20、h particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of conformity assessment, the ISO Committe
21、e on conformity assessment (CASCO) is responsible for the development of International Standards and Guides.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.Draft International Standards are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

23、.ISO/IEC 17067 was prepared by the ISO Committee on conformity assessment (CASCO).It was circulated for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both organizations.This first edition of ISO/IEC 17067 cancels and replaces ISO/IEC Guide 67:2004, which has been technically
24、 revised.The following major changes have been made compared with ISO/IEC Guide 67:2004: a new Clause 6 has been added, providing guidelines on setting up and operating a product certification scheme; some of the text originally in the main body of ISO/IEC Guide 67 has been moved to the Introduction
25、; the functional approach to conformity assessment has been emphasised; Table 1 has been extended to reflect the functional approach; explicit provision has been made for type and batch certification schemes; references to ISO/IEC 17065:2012 have replaced references to ISO/IEC Guide 65:1996; the tex

In this International Standard ref
27、erences to the term “product” can also be read to mean “services” or “processes”.As products are designed, produced, distributed, used and ultimately disposed of, they can give rise to concerns with purchasers, users and society in general. Such concerns could relate to safety, health or environment
28、al impacts, durability, compatibility, suitability for intended purposes or for stated conditions.Generally, these concerns are addressed by specifying the required product attributes in a normative document such as a standard.The supplier of the product then has the task of demonstrating that the p
29、roduct conforms to the requirements of the normative document.It might be sufficient for the supplier to assess and declare its products conformity, but in other cases the user or a regulatory authority might require that conformity be assessed by a competent and impartial third party.Assessment and
30、 impartial third party attestation that fulfilment of specified requirements has been demonstrated for the product is referred to as product certification.This International Standard outlines how schemes for product certification can be structured and managed. It identifies common assessment techniq
31、ues that are used as a basis for product certification, such as product testing, inspection and auditing.This International Standard is intended for use by those involved with product certification, particularly those who are, or who are considering becoming, product certification scheme owners. Pro
32、duct certification scheme owners can include:a) product certification bodies;b) government and regulators;c) purchasing agencies;d) non-government organizations;e) industry and retail associations; andf) consumer organizations.This International Standard provides only guidance and does not contain r
33、equirements. It is compatible with ISO/IEC 17065, which specifies requirements for product certification bodies.In this International Standard, the following verbal forms are used: “should” indicates a recommendation; “may” indicates a permission; “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.The mo
34、dal verb “shall”, which indicates a requirement, is not used because this International Standard only provides guidelines.Further details can be found in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

36、 is intended for use by all with an interest in product certification, and especially by certification scheme owners.NOTE 1 In this International Standard the term “product” can also be read as “process” or “service”, except in those instances where separate provisions are stated for “processes” or
37、“services”. Definitions of product, process and service are given in ISO/IEC 17065.NOTE 2 The certification of products, processes and services is a third-party conformity assessment activity (see ISO/IEC 17000) carried out by product certification bodies. The requirements for product certification
38、bodies are specified in ISO/IEC 17065.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Product certification is
44、carried out by product certification bodies which should conform to ISO/IEC 17065. Specified requirements for products are generally contained in standards or other normative documents.4.1.2 Product certification is an established conformity assessment activity that provides confidence to consumers,
45、 regulators, industry and other interested parties that products conform to specified requirements, including for example product performance, safety, interoperability and sustainability.4.1.3 Product certification can facilitate trade, market access, fair competition and consumer acceptance of prod
46、ucts on a national, regional and international level.4.2 Objectives of product certification4.2.1 The fundamental objectives of product certification are:a) to address the needs of consumers, users and, more generally, all interested parties by giving confidence regarding fulfilment of specified req
47、uirements;b) to allow suppliers to demonstrate to the market that their product has been attested to fulfil specified requirements by an impartial third party body.4.2.2 Product certification should provide the following: confidence for those with an interest in fulfilment of requirements, and suffi
48、cient value so that suppliers can effectively market products.5 Product certification schemes5.1 Basics5.1.1 Product certification schemes should implement the functional approach as described in ISO/IEC 17000:2004, Annex A. The functions are: selection, which includes planning and preparation activ
49、ities in order to collect or produce all the information and input needed for the subsequent determination function; determination, which may include conformity assessment activities such as testing, measuring, inspection, design appraisal, assessment of services and processes and auditing to provide information regarding the product requirements as input to the review and attestation functions; review, which means verification of the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of selection and determination activities, and the results of thes
