👉  What is ISO/IEC 17065:2012?

Conformity assessment — Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services

👉 ISO 17065 2012 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It outlines requirements for bodies that are involved in certifying products, processes, and services. The standard includes criteria concerning the objectives of certification, organizational structure, the competence of personnel, certification process, documentation and records, complaints handling and appeals procedures, as well as requirements for certifying products, processes, and services.

👉 It is important to note that ISO 17065 2012 does not define the specific criteria for the certification of a particular product, process or service – this is left in the hands of the certification body. The standard provides a set of requirements to ensure that any such criteria are developed and implemented in an effective, consistent, and transparent manner. Furthermore, this standard ensures that the certification body is able to demonstrate its technical competence for carrying out conformity assessments related to specific products, processes, or services.

👉 Certification bodies that comply with ISO 17065 2012 are recognized by governmental authorities, industry, and consumers as having the necessary expertise to carry out certification activities in a reliable manner. In other words, this standard is essential for ensuring that products, processes, and services meet international quality standards.

👉 Furthermore, conformity assessment bodies certified in accordance with ISO/IEC 17065:2012 are able to use the standard in order to show that they can provide independent, impartial, and competent certification services. This is essential for gaining trust among customers and improving the reputation of the certification body.

👉 In conclusion, ISO/IEC 17065:2012 provides an important set of requirements for certification bodies involved in the assessment of products, processes, and services.
