Conformity assessment - Vocabulary and general principles (ISO/IEC 17000:2020); Trilingual version EN ISO/IEC 17000:2020
This standard specifies general terms and definitions relating to conformity assessment, including the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies, and to the use of conformity assessment to facilitate trade. A description of the functional approach to conformity assessment is included, as a further aid to understanding among standard of conformity assessment, conformity assessment bodies and accreditation bodies, in both voluntary and regulatory environments. This document does not set out to provide a vocabulary for all of the concepts that may need to be used in describing particular conformity assessment activities. Terms and definitions are given only where the concept defined would not be understandable from the general language use of the term, or where an existing standard definition is not applicable.
