ISO/IEC 17065 – Unprecedented Developments for this Key ISO CASCO Standard

In April, the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) provided a webinar discussing the various ways in which ISO/IEC 17065 could be impacted if opened for revision because of the ISO CASCO 2024 Systematic Review Ballot.

The results of that Systematic Review Ballot and the deliberations regarding them were unprecedented within ISO CASCO’s 30-year history of developing International Standards (as opposed to Guides). And close on the heels of these activities comes a new ISO CASCO ballot this fall regarding ISO/IEC 17065. And again, a new precedent has been established in ISO CASCO.

Key Takeaways

• Review and connect the events of the past month
• Discuss the specific details, background, and rationale for the current proposal
• Link the details and understand the logical continuum of actions over the last year
• Consider the implications of the current ISO CASCO ballot of ISO/IEC 17065, both in terms of this specific standard and for ISO CASCO standards in general

Please join us for this informative webinar about the new path being taken in ISO CASCO. ANAB will share its insights and firsthand perspective on the details about the most recent ISO/IEC 17065 proposal, as well as the broader possibilities for ISO CASCO standards.
