18、on) 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 with particular fields of technical activity. ISO an
19、d 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 Committee on conformity assessment (CASCO) is responsible
20、 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 national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires appr
21、oval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. 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. ISO/IEC 17030 was prepared by the ISO Co
22、mmittee on conformity assessment (CASCO). It was circulated for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both organizations. BS EN ISO/IEC 17030:2009ISO/IEC 17030:2003(E) iv ISO 2003 All rights reservedIntroduction Marks of conformity take many forms and different uses.
23、 They can convey useful information about a product, or indicate particular characteristics of a product such as its safety, quality, performance, reliability or impact on the environment. They are found on products, certificates and publications denoting the conformity to specified requirements of
24、a product, management system, service, process, person or an organization. Most important for all marks of conformity is to gain the confidence of the market, including consumers, in products and other objects of conformity assessment to which these marks have been applied. The prime purpose of this
25、 International Standard is to enable a uniform approach to the use of third-party marks of conformity, to fill relevant gaps in existing ISO, IEC, ISO/IEC Standards and Guides, to address potential problems arising from different uses of third-party marks of conformity, to provide a clear and ration
26、al basis for their use, and to set out general requirements. This International Standard concentrates on third-party marks of conformity but may also be used as guidance for other applications of marks of conformity. This International Standard is based on market feedback and demands from various us
27、ers and issuers of marks of conformity assessment. It takes account of the ISO report on Marks of conformity assessment, published in May 1999. The use of this International Standard should lead to improved market confidence, international recognition and consumer acceptance of third-party marks of
28、conformity.

32、d-party marks of conformity can be: product certification marks, quality/environment management system certification marks, environmental conformity marks, etc. NOTE 1 A protected mark is a mark legally protected against unauthorized use.

35、ts 4.1 The owner of a third-party mark of conformity shall be responsible for protecting the mark legally against unauthorized use. 4.2 The owner and/or issuer of the third-party mark of conformity shall a) have rules governing the use of the third-party mark of conformity, b) take measures to minim
36、ize misunderstandings and lack of clarity regarding the third-party mark of conformity that could lead to a reduction in its effectiveness, c) have rules to ensure that the third-party mark of conformity and any accompanying information are not misleading and take action against their use in a misle
37、ading way, d) have measures to protect and monitor the use of the third-party mark of conformity, e) take actions to resolve misuses of the third-party mark of conformity, including withdrawal of the mark or appropriate legal action, and f) take action on and keep a record of all complaints relating
38、 to the use of the third-party mark of conformity. 4.3 When the owner or issuer of the third-party mark of conformity grants a licence for the use of that mark by others, a binding agreement shall be made according to the rules referred to in 4.2 a). 5 Design and application of third-party marks of
39、conformity 5.1 The design of the third-party mark of conformity, or accompanying or publicly available information, shall identify the issuer and the aspects covered by the mark (e.g. safety, environmental, performance, ethics) in a way that avoids any potential misunderstanding. A third-party mark
40、of conformity should be so designed as to minimize the risk of counterfeiting or other forms of misuse. 5.2 A third-party mark of conformity may be accompanied by additional information to make the meaning of the mark more clearly understood. Such information shall not be misleading and should be in
41、 a language understood by the intended recipients. NOTE It is preferable to use symbols that are universally understandable rather than descriptive words. 5.3 A third-party mark of conformity shall be traceable back to the specified requirements to which the object of conformity assessment conforms.
42、 5.4 Only a third-party mark of conformity issued in accordance with product conformity assessment may be displayed on the product or product packaging. All other third-party marks of conformity, such as those relating to quality or environmental management systems and services, shall not be display
43、ed on a product, product packaging, or in a way that may be interpreted as denoting product conformity. BS EN ISO/IEC 17030:2009ISO/IEC 17030:2003(E) ISO 2003 All rights reserved 35.5 When a third-party mark of conformity relates to a tangible product, the mark shall be directly applied to each prod
44、uct, except where the physical size of the product does not permit this or when the application is not appropriate for the type of product, in which case it may be applied on the package or other accompanying information. If a third-party mark of conformity only relates to certain parts of a product
45、, the rules governing its use shall include requirements to minimize any misunderstanding that the mark applies to the entire product. 5.6 A reference to third-party marks of conformity may also be used on documents, promotional material, etc. 6 Issuing third-party marks of conformity 6.1 Issuing of
46、 the third-party mark of conformity shall be based on a conformity assessment system or scheme that contains at least the following elements: a) determination of characteristics of the object of conformity assessment, consisting of, as appropriate, testing, examination of persons, assessment of bodi
47、es, auditing of management systems, etc.; b) review, i.e. examination of the extent to which an object of conformity assessment fulfils specified requirements; c) a decision following review that an object of conformity assessment fulfils specified requirements; d) licensing, or other methods, givin
48、g authorization to others to use the third-party mark of conformity unless covered by 6.2; e) surveillance, evaluating the continued conformity of the object of conformity assessment to specified requirements sufficient to assure continued confidence in the third-party mark of conformity unless cove
49、red by 6.2. 6.2 In conformity assessment systems or schemes for which the issuer evaluates each object of conformity assessment produced prior to the application of the third-party mark of conformity, licensing and surveillance are not required. 6.3 The third-party mark of conformity shall only be applied under the rules laid down in a publicly available conformity assessment system or scheme. 6.4 An appropriate maximum period of time for applying a third-party mark of conformity after the specified standard or other normative document is revised or be
