ISO/IEC 17011:2017 (SPECIFIES REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMPETENCE, CONSISTENT OPERATION AND IMPARTIALITY OF ACCREDITATION BODIES ASSESSING AND ACCREDITING CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT BODIES)
ISO/IEC 17011 exists to provide for a consistent application of conformity assessment to international consensus-based standards and conformity assessment schemes. Standards exist for impartial attestation of subject competence. Such attestation is done by accreditation bodies that are impartial and independent of the conformity assessment bodies and their recipients. The process of demonstrating the essential features about a product or services which meet the requirement of standards, regulations and other specification is called conformity assessment. A variety of PROCESSES involved in verifying that goods/services meet acceptable voluntary or mandatory standards such as Testing , Surveillance, Inspection, Assessment, Auditing, Certification and Registration.
ISO/IEC 17040:2005 (the general requirements for the peer assessment process to be carried out by agreement groups of accreditation bodies or conformity assessment bodies)
This new standard will be most valuable to groups of peers performing conformity assessment activities, such as conformity assessment bodies and accreditation bodies conducting tests and carrying out product certification. It provides the requirements for an effective peer assessment process while allowing individual groups to adopt specific measures appropriate to their own fields. ISO/IEC 17040:2005 is applicable to peer assessment of conformity assessment bodies performing activities such as testing, product certification, inspection, management system certification (sometimes also called registration), and personnel certification. ISO/IEC 17040:2005 is not concerned with the wider issues of the arrangements for the formation, organization and management of the agreement group, and does not cover how the group will use peer assessment in deciding membership of the group. Such matters, which could for example include a procedure for applicants to appeal against decisions of the agreement group, are outside the scope of ISO/IEC 17040:2005.
ISO 20000:2018 (Service Management System)
This document specifies requirements for an organization to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a service management system (SMS).
