19、ional 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 with particular field
20、s 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 Committee on conformity as
21、sessment (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. Publication as an Interna
22、tional Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member 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 17007
23、 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 17007 cancels and replaces ISO/IEC Guide 7:1994, of which it constitutes a technical rev
24、ision. SANS 17007:2009This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .ISO/IEC 17007:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard provides principles and guidance on how to write normative documents, such as s
25、tandards, technical specifications, codes of practice and regulations, such that they are concise and clear, especially in the context of any subsequent conformity assessment activity. Conformity assessment activities include testing, inspection and various forms of certification. These activities c
26、an result in attestations such as declarations, reports, certificates, marks of conformity or the granting of permissions and licences (see also ISO/IEC 17000:2004). This International Standard is intended for the following users: standards developers not applying the ISO/IEC Directives; industry as
27、sociations and consortia; purchasers; regulators; consumers and non-government groups; accreditation bodies; conformity assessment bodies; conformity assessment scheme owners; and other interested parties, e.g. insurance organizations. This International Standard is intended to assist the above user
28、s in developing specific normative documents at national, regional or international levels, both in regulated or non-regulated applications. Users of this International Standard may also find useful the good standardization practices defined in the ISO/IEC Directives (which specify the requirements
29、for ISO and IEC normative documents containing specified requirements) and the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, Annex 3, Code of Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards. The ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, 2004, 6.7, also covers aspects for conformity assess
30、ment. This International Standard also includes guidance on specialized International Standards and Guides in the domain of conformity assessment, known as the conformity assessment toolbox. These are principally the work of CASCO in cooperation with IEC. Reference to these generic publications is i
31、ncluded to emphasise that they contain internationally agreed provisions covering conformity assessment activities. Reliance on such publications facilitates reproducibility and mutual acceptance of conformity assessment results around the world. To make this International Standard easy to follow, t
32、echnical terminology has been avoided as much as possible. However, in some cases, the use of some technical terminology has been unavoidable. For example, the requirements in normative documents can relate to many different areas, e.g. a particular material, product, service, installation, process,
33、 system, person or body. In a conformity assessment context, these are all examples of an “object of conformity assessment”. To avoid repeating a list of the examples throughout the text, the term “object of conformity assessment” is used, for which a definition is provided in Clause 3. SANS 17007:2

37、ty assessment 1 Scope This International Standard provides principles and guidance for developing normative documents that contain: specified requirements for objects of conformity assessment to fulfil; specified requirements for conformity assessment systems that can be employed when demonstrating
38、whether an object of conformity assessment fulfils specified requirements. This International Standard is intended for use by standards developers not applying the ISO/IEC Directives, industry associations and consortia, purchasers, regulators, consumers and non-government groups, accreditation bodi

46、ciples listed below are the basis for the subsequent guidance in this International Standard. This International Standard does not give specific guidance for all situations that can occur. Therefore, the following principles may provide guidance for such situations: principle 1: separation of specif
47、ied requirements for the object of conformity assessment from specified requirements related to conformity assessment activities (see 4.2); principle 2: neutrality towards parties performing conformity assessment activities (see 4.3); principle 3: functional approach to conformity assessment (see 4.
48、4); principle 4: comparability of conformity assessment results (see 4.5); principle 5: good practice in conformity assessment (see 4.6). Principles 1 and 2 are primarily directed towards the preparation of normative documents that contain specifications for objects of conformity assessment (Clause
49、5 provides further information). Principle 3 is directed towards the preparation of separate normative documents that contain specifications for how conformity assessment systems are structured and carried out. However, the functional approach can assist the developer of normative documents for characteristics of the object of conformity assessment to anticipate and formulate requirements that can be used in the subsequent conformity assessment activities. 4.2 Principle 1: separation of speci
