Title: “General Criteria for the operation of
various types of bodies performing
inspection”
in addition to ISO 9001 relevant requirements are:
 evaluation of technical competence
 independence, impartiality and integrity
 confidentiality, co-operation
ISO 9001 is specific to quality management systems
relevant requirements of the EN/ISO 9000 series of standards applying to the quality systems for inspection bodies are incorporated in ISO 17020
Inspection
Examination of a product design, product, service, process or plant and determination of their conformity with specific requirements or, on the basis of professional judgement, general
requirements (ISO 17020)
