RS ISO/IEC Guide 68: 2002
Arrangements for the recognition and acceptance of conformity assessment results

Abstract

This Guide provides an introduction to the development, issuance and operation of arrangements for the
recognition and acceptance of results produced by bodies undertaking similar conformity assessment and
related activities. The activities to which this guidance is intended to apply are those related to the conduct of
unregulated marketplace transactions extending across borders from one country to another. While
agreements among governments pertaining to transactions of regulated goods and services can take into
account the agreements addressed by this Guide, the guidance provided here is introductory and general in
nature and does not specifically address any special requirements that governmental agreements might
generate.
Some countries may be concerned about having the necessary human and institutional resources with
respect to conformity assessment infrastructures which would permit them to participate in such
arrangements. Guidance on the acquisition and development of the resources required is beyond the scope of
this Guide.
