Conformity assessment — General principles and requirements for validation and verification bodies

Abstract

This document contains general principles and requirements for the competence, consistent operation
and impartiality of bodies performing validation/verification as conformity assessment activities.
Bodies operating according to this document can provide validation/verification as a first-party,
second-party or third-party activity. Bodies can be validation bodies only, verification bodies only, or
provide both activities.
This document is applicable to validation/verification bodies in any sector, providing confirmation
that claims are either plausible with regards to the intended future use (validation) or truthfully stated
(verification). However, results of other conformity assessment activities (e.g. testing, inspection and
certification) are not considered to be subject to validation/verification according to this document.
Neither are situations where validation/verification activities are performed as steps within another
conformity assessment process.
This document is applicable to any sector, in conjunction with sector specific programmes that contain
requirements for validation/verification processes and procedures.
This document can be used as a basis for accreditation by accreditation bodies, peer assessment within
peer assessment groups, or other forms of recognition of validation/verification bodies by international
or regional organizations, governments, regulatory authorities, programme owners, industry bodies,
companies, clients or consumers.
