ISO 17020 Certification – Conformity Assessment

ISO 17020 – Conformity Assessment for Inspection Bodies
The ISO 17020 standard has been developed with the aim of bolstering the credibility of inspection bodies and ensuring impartial functioning and consistency in their activities.

An inspection body can be an organization or a group within an organization authorized to carry out assessments on behalf of other organizations such as clients, parent companies or regulatory bodies.
