Annotation of standard text ISO/IEC 17040-ed.1.0 :
ISO/IEC 17040:2005 specifies the general requirements for the peer assessment process to be carried out by agreement groups of accreditation bodies or conformity assessment bodies. It addresses the structure and operation of the agreement group only insofar as they relate to the peer assessment process. ISO/IEC 17040:2005 is not concerned with the wider issues of the arrangements for the formation, organization and management of the agreement group, and does not cover how the group will use peer assessment in deciding membership of the group. Such matters, which could for example include a procedure for applicants to appeal against decisions of the agreement group, are outside the scope of ISO/IEC 17040:2005. ISO/IEC 17040:2005 is applicable to peer assessment of conformity assessment bodies performing activities such as testing, product certification, inspection, management system certification (sometimes also called registration), and personnel certification. More than one type of activity can be included in a peer assessment process. This can be considered particularly appropriate when the body under assessment conducts combined assessments of multiple conformity assessment activities. ISO/IEC 17040:2005 is also applicable to peer assessment amongst accreditation bodies, which is also known as peer evaluation. LISO 17040:2005 specifie les exigences generales relatives au processus devaluation par des pairs que doivent realiser des groupes daccord dorganismes daccreditation ou devaluation de la conformite. Elle ne sapplique a la structure et au fonctionnement du groupe daccord que dans la mesure ou ces derniers concernent le processus devaluation par des pairs. LISO 17040:2005 ne traite pas des questions plus larges concernant les accords relatifs a la constitution, a lorganisation et a la gestion du groupe daccord, ni de la facon dont le groupe utilise levaluation par des pairs pour decider de ladhesion du groupe. Ces sujets, qui pourraient par exemple inclure une procedure permettant aux candidats de faire appel des decisions du groupe daccord, ne sinscrivent pas dans le domaine dapplication de LISO 17040:2005. LISO 17040:2005 sapplique a levaluation par des pairs des organismes devaluation de la conformite exercant des activites comme les essais, la certification de produits, linspection, la certification des systemes de management (parfois egalement appelee enregistrement), et la certification de personnel. Le processus devaluation par des pairs peut comprendre un ou plusieurs types dactivites. Il peut se reveler particulierement approprie pour les organismes soumis a evaluation qui realisent des evaluations combinees de plusieurs activites devaluation de la conformite. LISO 17040:2005 sapplique egalement a levaluation par des pairs dorganismes daccreditation, egalement designee par le terme «appreciation par des pairs».
