Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing Documents is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent
rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of
patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by the ISO Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO).

Introduction
This document provides principles and guidance on how to develop normative documents, such as standards,
technical specifications, codes of practice and regulations, so that they are concise and clear, especially in
the context of any subsequent conformity assessment activity.
Conformity assessment is a demonstration that specified requirements are fulfilled and includes activities
such as but not limited to assessment, auditing, design review, evaluation, examination, inspection, testing,
surveillance, validation, verification, and certification. The methods and procedures for performing specific
individual conformity assessment activities can be combined under rules and methodology through which
approvals, certificates, consents, licenses, labels, markings, marks of conformity, permissions, reports and
various forms of statements are issued.
This document is intended for the following users:
— standards developers;
— industry associations and consortia;
— purchasers;
— regulatory authorities;
— consumers and non-government groups;
— accreditation bodies;
— conformity assessment bodies;
— conformity assessment scheme owners; and
— other interested parties, e.g. insurance organizations.
This document is intended to assist the above users in developing normative documents suitable for use
in conformity assessment at national, regional or international levels, both in regulated or non-regulated
applications.
Users of this document may also find useful information in the ISO/IEC Directives, ISO/IEC 17060 Conformity
assessment Code of good practice, ISO/IEC 17067 Conformity assessment — Fundamentals of product
certification and guidelines for product certification schemes and the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers
to Trade, Annex 3, Code of Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards.
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, also covers aspects for conformity assessment, mandatory for standards
developers in ISO, IEC and ISO/IEC committees.
This document also includes reference to documents in the domain of conformity assessment, known as the
CASCO toolbox. These are principally the work of CASCO in cooperation with IEC. Reference to these generic
publications is included to emphasise that they contain internationally agreed, globally applied provisions
covering conformity assessment. Reliance on these publications as requirements for conformity assessment
facilitates acceptance of results around the world.
To make this document as usable as possible, technical terminology has been avoided as much as possible.
However, in some cases, the use of some technical terminology was necessary. For example, the requirements
in normative documents can relate to many different areas, e.g. a particular material, product, service,
installation, data, information, process, system, person or body. In a conformity assessment context, these
are all examples of an “object of conformity assessment”.
In the field of conformity assessment “object of conformity assessment” or “object” (see 3.3) is a generic
term used to represent anything that can fulfil specified requirements. In a normative document suitable
for use in conformity assessment, the term “object of conformity assessment” or “object” would not be used.
A normative document should include a scope which either explicitly or implicitly defines the related object
of conformity assessment, for example, a type of product, process, service, installation, design, land used

for a specific purpose, management system, conformity assessment body, etc. In this document, the term
“object of conformity assessment” or “object” is used so that this document can be applied to any individual
normative document regardless of the scope of the normative document.
