  13. ISO Code of ethics

  14. CODE OF ETHICS Promoting the implementation of International Standards and associated good conformity assessment practices.

  15. Process approach and structure

  16. Study and PolicyChairman’s Policy and Coordination Group (CASCO CPC) MAIN TASKS • To receive mandates or requests from ISO Council, and CASCO members and other interested parties • To create recommendations on policies • To ensure fulfillment of the policies and directives • approved (the “Standardization Framework”) • To plan and assign priorities for the development • of standards (the “Standardization Framework”)

  17. ISO/CASCO CPC constitution MEMBERS: IEC/CAB President 7 CASCO “P” members: ABNT, DIN, ICONTEC, ISIRI, ON, SABS, SAC CASCO Chairman

  18. CASCO: Promotion and Support Regulators Interface Group (RIG) Vinculation with regulators Promotion of wider use of CASCO documents in Technical Regulations context Conformity Assessment Promotion and Support (CAPS) Active role in promoting CASCO activities Supporting to the ISO and IEC Technical Committes for sectorial applications of CASCO documents

  19. Use of ISO/IEC standards of CASCO Market Feedback Pannel (MFP) Making surveys on the use of CASCO documents Responses (yes/no) to inquiries on interpretation on the appropriate use of standards

  20. The Technical Work During the 2003-2006 period, many new ISO/IEC Guides were approved (most of them coming from previous years)

  21. The Technical Work

  22. The Technical Work

  23. The Technical WorkOn the road

  24. The Technical Work: the JWG with TCsOn the road (almost finished)

  25. ISO/IEC standards on conformity assessment a common language to support regulatory trade agreements through their adoption at national, regional, international and industry levels

  33. NATIONAL ADOPTIONSUse in regulations - Argentina

  34. COPANT – PAN AMERICAN STANDARDS COMMISSION SURVEY ON MANDATORY ELECTRICAL SAFETY CERTIFICATION (1999) REGIONAL ADOPTIONSUse in regulations

  35. REGIONAL ADOPTIONSUse in regulations MERCOSUR – Subgroup Nº 3 – Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment • Nº 5/92 It recommends promotion and use of ISO 9000 Standards and ISO/IEC Guides on certification, inspection and tests • Nº 19/92 It recommends use of models of ISO Certification • Nº 40/93 Requirements to fulfill by product certification, processes, services and quality system bodies on the basis of ISO/IEC Guides and ISO Standards

  36. Use in industry sectors(just examples)

  37. Use in accreditation

  38. Use in Peer Assessment

  39. The future and some concernsSectorial approaches in conformity assessment (examples) The Framework ISO/IEC 17021 Management System Certification Bodies ISO 22003 Food Safety Certification ISO/IEC FDIS 27006 Requirements for Certification Bodies for Information Security Management System ISO/IEC 28003 Supply Chain Security Certification

  40. The future and some concernsWhy sectorial approaches? • The TCs are developing them: it is supposed they need them • Is there a danger of proliferation of MS standards and their certification schemes? • Some implications: • Expansion of multiple certifications • Need for multiple accreditations • New competences for management systems assessors/experts • The new MSS Group in ISO

  41. The future and some concernsNeed for revision of Guide ISO/IEC 65 - Results of the survey ONE OF THE MAIN CRITICISM TO THE PRESENT “65” ISTHE DIFFICULT FOR USE ON THE ASSESSMENT OF SERVICES The request to CASCO members (Resolution 16/2005) 22 approval 4 disapproval The “new 65” will open a new framework for services and products with multiple derivations like the ones we are having now with the 17021 If a Working Group begin to work in 2007 the “new 65” will be approved by 2009/2010 22nd CASCO Plenary (Buenos Aires): Revision was approved

  42. The future and some concernsCredibility of ISO 9001 certificationISO/IEC letter to IAF (December 1997) • Dear Mr. Gundlach: • … At the recent ISO General Assembly meeting great desappointment was expressed at the suspension of QSAR activities, as it was considered that the participation of ISO and IEC in QSAR would add international credibility to certification activities. • … ISO and IEC representation on your Board would provide many benefits to the international conformity assessment community as a whole, including the following: • It will ensure very close links between the IAF and the two organizations jointly responsible for producing the International Standards and Guides forming the basis of IAF activities, and facilitate more rapid transfer of ideas and recommendations regarding these documents. • It will broaden the base of the IAF and increase its authority. • The international status of ISO and IEC will enhance the reputation of the IAF. • Should the IAF consider proposing that ISO and IEC grant official recognition by permiting the use of the ISO and IEC logos, such representation would be an important consideration.

  43. CREDIBILITY OF ISO 9001 QUALITY SYSTEM CERTIFICATION • Most complaints received in ISO are related to ISO 9000 certification • They include accredited and non-accredited organizations • They include supplier’s declaration of conformity with ISO 9001 (without certification) • Auditors: the new standard (9001:2000) requires a greater level of competence (knowledge of the national quality award, strategic planning, etc.)
