29、ndardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the righ
30、t to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures
31、used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rule
32、s of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identif
33、ied during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.For an explanation on
34、the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISOs adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword
35、.html.This document was prepared by the ISO Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO) and circulated for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both organizations.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 17011:2004), which has been technica
36、lly revised.The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows: alignment with the CASCO common structure for standards and incorporation of CASCO common elements in clauses on impartiality, confidentiality, complaints and appeal and management system; recognition of proficiency testin
37、g as an accreditation activity; addition of new definitions for “accreditation scheme” (see 3.8), “flexible scope of accreditation” (see 3.7), “remote assessment” (see 3.26) and “assessment programme” (see 3.27); introduction of the concept of risk; incorporation of competence criteria in the docume

In the context of this document, activiti
39、es covered by accreditation include but are not limited to testing, calibration, inspection, certification of management systems, persons, products, processes and services, provision of proficiency testing, production of reference materials, validation and verification.It is important for interested
40、 parties to know that conformity assessment bodies are competent to perform their tasks. For that reason, there is an increasing demand for impartial attestation of their competence. Such attestation is done by accreditation bodies that are impartial and independent in relation to the conformity ass
41、essment bodies and the conformity assessment bodies clients. Accreditation bodies normally operate in a non-profit distributing manner and conduct regular assessments of conformity assessment bodies to ensure that conformity assessment bodies conform to relevant international standards and other nor
42、mative documents.A system to accredit conformity assessment bodies is intended to provide for a consistent application of conformity assessment to international consensus based standards and conformity assessment schemes, in order to benefit public health, safety, environment and welfare and support
43、 regulators and end users. It can facilitate national and cross-border trade, as pursued by trade authorities and organizations.This document can be used to support peer evaluation mechanisms which have been created at regional and international levels and through which confidence is provided that a
44、ccreditation bodies are operating in accordance with this document.In this document, the following verbal forms are used: “shall” indicates a requirement; “should” indicates a recommendation; “may” indicates a permission; “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.Further details can be found in
45、the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.For the purposes of research, users are encouraged to share their views on this document and their priorities for changes to future editions.
