Most Frequently Asked Questions about 17020
ISO 17020 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of inspection bodies. While ISO 17020 accreditation itself isn’t a legal requirement, it’s often a prerequisite for certain types of inspections or contracts, especially in regulated industries. UKAS accreditation to ISO 17020 provides assurance to your clients that your inspection services are reliable, meet rigorous international standards, and are conducted with the utmost professionalism.
To achieve UKAS accreditation, your inspection body must meet all the requirements outlined in ISO 17020. This includes:
- Robust Management System: A well-defined management system that covers all aspects of your inspection activities.
- Competent Personnel: Qualified and experienced inspectors with the necessary skills and knowledge.
- Documented Procedures: Clear, documented procedures for every aspect of your inspection process.
- Impartiality & Confidentiality: Demonstrable policies and procedures to ensure impartiality and protect confidential information.
While ISO 17020 accreditation itself is not a legal requirement, it’s often a prerequisite for certain types of inspections or contracts, particularly in regulated industries. Additionally, many clients prefer to work with UKAS-accredited inspection bodies due to the added assurance of quality and competence.
UKAS accreditation to ISO 17020 brings numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced Credibility & Trust: Demonstrates your commitment to quality and impartiality, giving your clients confidence in your inspection results.
- Competitive Advantage: Differentiate your inspection body in the market, especially when competing for tenders or contracts that require accreditation.
- Global Recognition: UKAS accreditation is recognized internationally, opening doors to new markets and opportunities.
Improved Processes: The accreditation process helps you refine your inspection operations, leading to greater efficiency and reduced risk. - Meeting Client Requirements: Many clients, particularly in regulated industries, require or prefer to work with UKAS-accredited inspection bodies.
The timeline varies, but it typically takes 9-12 months from application to accreditation. The duration depends on the complexity of your operations and the readiness of your existing systems.
ISO Integrity specializes in guiding inspection bodies through the entire accreditation process. We provide expert consultation, gap analysis, documentation support, training, internal audits, and assistance with corrective actions. Our goal is to make your journey to UKAS accreditation as smooth and efficient as possible.
