21、on) and IEC (the International 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 d

22、eal with particular fields 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 C

23、ommittee on conformity assessment (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 national bodies for voting

24、. Publication as an International Standard requires approval 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

25、 patent rights. ISO/IEC 17020 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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 17020:1998), which ha

26、s been technically revised. BS EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012ISO/IEC 17020:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard has been drawn up with the objective of promoting confidence in bodies performing inspection. Inspection bodies carry out assessments on behalf of private

27、clients, their parent organizations, or authorities, with the objective of providing information about the conformity of inspected items with regulations, standards, specifications, inspection schemes or contracts. Inspection parameters include matters of quantity, quality, safety, fitness for purpo

28、se, and continued safety compliance of installations or systems in operation. The general requirements with which these bodies are required to comply in order that their services are accepted by clients and by supervisory authorities are harmonized in this International Standard. This International

29、Standard covers the activities of inspection bodies whose work can include the examination of materials, products, installations, plants, processes, work procedures or services, and the determination of their conformity with requirements and the subsequent reporting of results of these activities to

30、 clients and, when required, to authorities. Inspection can concern all stages during the lifetime of these items, including the design stage. Such work normally requires the exercise of professional judgement in performing inspection, in particular when assessing conformity with general requirement

31、s. This International Standard can be used as a requirements document for accreditation or peer assessment or other assessments. This set of requirements can be interpreted when applied to particular sectors. Inspection activities can overlap with testing and certification activities where these act

32、ivities have common characteristics. However, an important difference is that many types of inspection involve professional judgement to determine acceptability against general requirements, for which reason the inspection body needs the necessary competence to perform the task. Inspection can be an

33、 activity embedded in a larger process. For example, inspection can be used as a surveillance activity in a product certification scheme. Inspection can be an activity that precedes maintenance or simply provides information about the inspected item with no determination of conformity with requireme

34、nts. In such cases, further interpretation might be needed. The categorization of inspection bodies as type A, B or C is essentially a measure of their independence. Demonstrable independence of an inspection body can strengthen the confidence of the inspection bodys clients with respect to the body

35、s ability to carry out inspection work with impartiality. In this International Standard, the following verbal forms are used: g127 “shall” indicates a requirement; g127 “should” indicates a recommendation; g127 “may” indicates a permission; g127 “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.

It applies to inspection bodies of type A, B or C, as defined in this International Standard, and it applies to any stage of inspection. NOTE The stages of inspection include design stage, type exami

40、(3.3), service (3.4), or installation or their design and determination of its conformity with specific requirements or, on the basis of professional judgment, with general requirements NOTE 1 Inspection of processes can include personnel, facilities, technology or methodology. NOTE 2 Inspection pro

43、erials (e.g. lubricant). Many products comprise elements belonging to different generic product categories.
