What is the
ISO/IEC Toolbox
for Conformity
Assessment?
 A suite of International Standards and Guides that set out
general requirements for conformity assessment activities,
such as:
– Product testing
– Inspection
– Self-declaration of conformity
– Product certification
– Management system auditing and certification
– Accreditation and peer assessment
– Mutual recognition of test and inspection results
 Produced by ISO’s policy committee on conformity
assessment (ISO/CASCO)
 Recognised as the accepted international standards for
conformity assessment by the WTO Technical Barriers to
Trade (TBT) Committee
 Adopted in most countries and used widely in many sectors,
including telecommunications
