ISO/IEC DIS 29110-3-3

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO/IEC 29110 contains the requirements for certification bodies performing conformity assessments, of the requirements contained in ISO/IEC 29110-4-m for VSE profiles, using process assessments and maturity models. This part is based on the existing published ISO/IEC standards and guides, for certification bodies (ISO/IEC 17065), for the process assessment of process quality characteristics and organizational process maturity, performed according to the requirements of the ISO/IEC 33001-33099 series of process assessment standards, and ISO/IEC 29169 to support an environment which encourages worldwide recognition of VSE profiles conformity assessment results.

The overall framework for conformity assessment follows the approach defined in ISO/IEC 17065:2012, Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services.

This standard has been developed following application of use in the field and in consultation with key stakeholders, national accreditation bodies, ISO's policy committee for conformity assessment (CASCO).

This part of ISO/IEC 29110 is addressed to people and certification bodies who have a direct relation with the assessment process based on the VSE profiles.

It is intended that ISO/IEC TR 29110-1, ISO/IEC 29110-2 and ISO/IEC 29110-4-m be read first when initially exploring VSE profile documents.

NOTE: Any clause with requirements directly copied from other Standards has those copies requirements marked up in a box. Other requirements which are also copied but for which information is added are not marked up in a box but their source is clearly referenced in the text.
