The 1-1-1 dream of Conformity Assessment


� 111 ISO members arerepresented in CASCO (69 participating membersand 42 observers).

� 18 internationalorganizations are liaisonmembers of CASCO: BIPM,CEOC, CAC, EOQ, Eurolab,IAF, IEC, IFAN, IFIA, IIOC,ILAC, INLAC, IPC, IQNet, ITU-T, OIML, UILI, UNFCCC.

� Both policy and technicalwork

� Continual improvement cycle

ISO/CASCO structure


CASCO Chairman’s Policy Group

�Gives recognition to the policy role of CASCO and oversees the internal coordination of the CASCO subgroups

�Studies conformity assessment issues

�Sets priorities for current and future CASCO work items

�Creates possible recommendations for endorsement by CASCO on conformity assessment


Strategic and regulatory Alliance Group STAR

Provides mechanism for industry sectors and regulators to interact with CASCO

Alerts CASCO of sector and regulator activity in conformity assessment

Forum to discuss conformity assessment concerns of industry sectors and regulators

Promotes the CASCO toolbox to international agencies (regulators) and sectors

Responsible for issues related to workshops , market surveillance, monitoring the credibility of certification of MSS


Technical Interface group TIG

Focused on the technical relationship between CASCO and ISO/TC’s to ensure:

a. A harmonized approach by all TC’s to conformity assessment

b. CASCO conformity assessment policies are understood and adhered to where relevant

c. The provision of adviceinternally in ISO on conformity assessment

d. The provision of advice to TC’s on the design and development of sector specific schemes where justified


CASCO Interpretation ProcessProvides a uniform consistent approach to interpretation and maintenance of existing standards and guidesInterpretations have been completed on ISO/IEC Guide 65, ISO/IEC 17011 and 17021.

A total of 10 interpretations done to date

ISO/IEC 17021- clause 6 Impartiality –completedISO/IEC Guide 65- clause 15 Complaints to suppliers – completedISO/IEC 17011- a number of clauses ISO/IEC 17021- clause 8.3 uncompletedResponses are available on ISO website http://www.iso.org/resources/conformity _assessment/casco-interreptations.htm

Interpretations are NOT requirements


Topical issues related to conformity assessment

1. Market Surveillance – Information booklet to be developed on Regulatory Good Practice aimed to assist developing economies.

2. Interpretation Panel – Completion of 8 requests for interpretation – process is functioning well

3. IAF-ISO Action plan - on monitoring the effectiveness of Accredited Management System Certification – progress is on schedule.

4. Web conferencing - being used relatively extensively for workshops and WG meetings. Facilitates participation from developing economies.

5. Identifying best practice within successful sectors (automobile, aeronautics, telecoms railways etc) and determining if they can be transposed to the CASCO toolbox.

6. Annual management survey on MSS

7. Developing countries and CASCO and UNIDO/DEVCO/CASCO publications.

8. Review of CPC composition to accommodate A Liaisons


The ISO/CASCO Toolbox

� The CASCO toolbox consists of 27 documents covering:�

� Vocabulary, principles and common elements of conformity assessment

� Code of good practice

� Product, system, and persons certification

� Testing, calibration, inspection, marks of conformity

� Supplier’s declaration of conformity, accreditation, peer assessment, and mutual recognition arrangements� PAS documents (total of 5)


CASCO common elements and structure

� The CASCO PAS documents represent a group of common elements for application in all CASCO standards.

� All PAS documents are intended to apply to all CASCO standards on conformity assessment and are currently being incorporated.

� In addition to the common elements (PAS documents) ISO/CASCO has adopted a common structure.

� The common structure together with the common elements are intended to give consistency to conformity assessments standards.

� Each WG developing or revising a CASCO Standard will incorporate the Obligatory parts of the PAS documents into the standard

CASCO Standards in Progress

� ISO/IEC 17021 Part 2 (CASCO WG 21), Conformity assessment — Requirements for 3rd party certification auditing of management systems (FDIS – Dec. 2010)

� ISO/IEC 17065 (CASCO WG 29), Conformity assessment —Requirements for certification bodies certifying products, processes and services (CD 2 - 2010)

� ISO/IEC 17024 (CASCO WG 30), Conformity assessment —General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons (CD)

� ISO/IEC 17020 (CASCO WG 31), Conformity assessment —General criteria for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection (DIS)

� ISO/IEC 17067 (CASCO WG 32), Conformity assessment –Fundamentals of product certification (Product scheme development) (WD)

� ISO/IEC TS 17022 (CASCO WG 33), Conformity assessment –Third party management system audit reports (WD - 2012)


CASCO Working Groups� ISO/CASCO P Members nominate to the WG.

� A-Liaison members nominate to WG. D-Liaisoncan be established between an organization and a WG.

� They are nominated as experts and required to input as experts. WG group members act as independent experts not as national delegates .

� The WG develops a Working draft document (WD). It evolves into a Committee Draft (CD) document.

� The CD goes to member bodies who distribute to NMC (NMC) for CASCO.

� At this stage no longer the experts but the national consensus comments.

� Responsible for the development of the document (Standard/Guide) (DIS and FDIS and publication).

Conformity Assessment Standards- Standards generation

� ISO Standard

� A normative document, developed according to consensus procedures,which has been approved by the ISO membershipand P-members of the responsible committee in accordance withPart 1 of the ISO/IEC Directives as a draft International Standardand/or as a final draft International Standard and which has beenpublished by the ISO Central Secretariat

� ISO/PAS Publicly available specification

� A normative document representing the consensus within aworking group.

� ISO/TS Technical specification

� A normative document representing the technical consensus within an

ISO committee

� ISO/TR Technical report

� An informative document containing information of a different kind from

that normally published in a normative document.

� International Workshop Agreement (IWA)

� An IWA is an ISO document produced through workshop meeting(s)and not through the technical committee process.

� ISO Guide

� Guides provide guidance to technical committees for the preparation of standards, often on broad fields or topics


CASCO Newsletter

� CASCO has initiated a newsletter (3 issues/year) to keep the members and others well informed

� Recent developments inconformity assessment
