World Trade Organization designates the non acceptance of test reports and certificates as one of the biggest obstacles to trade

The way forward: implementing the ISO/IEC Standards and Guides, with a double level of consensus, amongst countries and across stakeholders

Principle 3 – Common elementsPrinciple 3 – Common elements

ISO/IEC International Standards and Guides on conformity assessment are written on an understanding of some basic common elements

- Impartiality and related bodies (ISO PAS 17001)

- Confidentiality (ISO/PAS 17002)

- Complaints and appeals (ISO PAS 17003)

- Disclosure of information (ISO PAS 17004)

- Use of management systems (future ISO PAS 17005)


Presentation of ISO/CASCOPresentation of ISO/CASCO

CASCO ensures that within ISO, wherever Conformity Assessment is used, it is used and applied in a consistent manner and the rules are the same.

CASCO has "rules" for when a TC needs to use Conformity Assessment.
