ISO/IEC 17065 Conversion

The ISO/IEC17065 certification ensures the competence of an accreditation body in providing certification for the quality of products, processes, and services with full competence, consistency, transparency, and zero impartiality. It relies on methods for testing (ISO/IEC 17025), inspections (ISO/IEC 17020), and auditing (ISO/IEC 17021). The general activities of conformity assessment are sampling, determination, review, decision, attestations, surveillance, and suspension.

This applies to MID/MIR, NAWI/NAWIR, National recognitions (Dutch Metrologiewet),
