Standards for conformity assessment bodies (CABs) have an
high impact on the activities of CEOC members as testing,
inspection and certification bodies
The participation of CEOC in the development of standards for
CABs is therefore of crucial importance
CEOC’s involvement has a long tradition - beginning with the
development of the 45 000 series by CEN/CENELEC TC 1 and
continued with the ISO/CASCO activities in developing the
17 000 series
Today ISO/CASCO has the leadership – adopted by regional
and national standardisation organisations
CEOC can directly participate as liaison member of CASCO
and of CEN/CENELEC TC 1 and indirectly through CEOC
members in national standardisation organisations

The World of Standards has three Levels
1.
International – Leading organisations:
 ISO – multi-discipline and cross-sector
 IEC – electrotechnology
 ITU – telecommunications
2.
3.
Regional – e.g. CEN / CENELEC
National – e.g. AFNOR, BSI, DIN, ASI

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

After the decision to review an existing standard or to develop a
new standard:
CASCO establish a Working Group (WG) which is responsible for
the development of the standard
ISO/CASCO P (Participating) Members can nominate experts to the
WG
A-Liaison members can nominate experts to the WG
WG group members act as independent experts not as national
delegates
The WG develops at first a Working Draft (WD)
It evolves into a Committee Draft (CD) document
The CD goes to member bodies for comments and voting
At this stage no longer the experts but the national consensus
comments or A-Liaison members comments
Next step is a Draft International Standard (DIS) and then as last
step a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS)
After a positive voting on the FDIS the Standard is published

Development of ISO/IEC 17020 “Inspection

Developed by CEN/CENELEC/TC1 “Criteria for conformity
assessment bodies” as EN 45004.
Convenor of the responsible working group was a
representative of a CEOC member (Dr. Reuter/VdTÜV)
EN 45004 published in 1995
One of the aims: support of the introduction of the conformity
assessment procedures specified in the EC Council decision
concerning the modules
Taken over by CASCO in a fast track procedure as ISO/IEC
17020:1998 which was published in 2004 as EN ISO/IEC 17020
Chair of the responsible CASCO working group was a
representative from SAFed

EN ISO/IEC 17020 was published as “harmonised standard”
in the Official Journal of the EU C 136 on 16.06.2009 in the
framework of the implementation of the EU Regulation
765/2008 and the EU Decision 768/2008
In 2008 the CASCO members decided with the majority of
one vote to revise ISO/IEC 17020
Responsible for the revision is the CASCO Working Group
(WG) 31
CEOC is represented directly by 3 delegates, indirectly
through national standardisation organisations by further
delegates from CEOC members including the co-chair of
WG 31
The mirror committee in CEOC is the CI preparing CEOC’s
opinion and comments on the drafts (WD2 in the moment)
