ISO/IEC 17065:2012 Conformity Assessment – Requirements for Bodies Certifying Products, Processes, and Services

ISO/IEC 17065:2012 specifies the requirements certification bodies must meet to competently, consistently, and impartially certify products, processes, and services. It is the global benchmark used by accreditation bodies (e.g., national accreditation authorities) to evaluate certification bodies’ governance, impartiality safeguards, competence frameworks, decision-making, and scheme controls.
The standard supports confidence in certificates used by regulators, buyers, supply chains, and consumers.
