ISO 17020 Consultancy and Check List:
ISO 17020 is an international standard thatspecifies requirements for the competence of bodies engaged in performing
inspection and for the impartiality and consistency of their inspection
activities. It has been developed to build confidence in the inspection bodies
and through this procedure, an authoritative body gives formal recognition of
technical competence for specific inspection, based on third-party assessment
based on ISO 17020 standards.
ISO 17020 accreditation is managed by IAFMRA (International Accreditation Forum Multilateral Recognition Arrangement)
and the certificate is issued for a period of 2 years after successful
completion of pre-assessment and registration or final assessment. Surveillance
audits are conducted by the Accreditation body annually. It is unlike other ISO
standards as ISO 17020 is accreditation, not certification.
