11、s International Standard references to the term productcanalso be read to mean servicesor processes.As products are designed,produced,distributed,used and ultimately disposed of,they can give rise toconcerns with purchasers,users and society in general.Such concerns could relate to safety,health ore
12、nvironmentalimpacts,durability,compatibility,suitability for intended purposes or for stated conditions.Generally,these concerns are addressed by specifying the required product attributes in a normativedocument such as a standard.The supplier of the product then has the task of demonstrating that t
13、he product conforms to therequirements of the normative document.It might be sufficient for the supplier to assess and declare its products conformity,but in other casesthe user or a regulatory authority might require that conformity be assessed by a competent andimpartial third party.Assessment and
14、 impartial third party attestation that fulfilment of specified requirements has beendemonstrated for the product is referred to as product certification.This International Standard outlines how schemes for product certification can be structured andmanaged.It identifies common assessment techniques
15、 that are used as a basis for product certification,such as product testing,inspection and auditing.This International Standard is intended for use by those involved with product certification,particularlythose who are,or who are considering becoming,product certification scheme owners.Productcertif
16、ication scheme owners can include:a)product certification bodies;可government and regulators;c)purchasing agencies;d)non-government organizations;e)industry and retail associations;andf)consumer organizations.This International Standard provides only guidance and does not contain requirements.It is c
17、ompatiblewith ISO/IEC 17065,which specifies requirements for product certification bodies.In this International Standard,the following verbal forms are used:-shouldindicates a recommendation;-mayindicates a permission;-canindicates a possibility or a capability.The modal verb shall,which indicates a requirement,is not used because this International Standardonly provides guidelines.Further details can be found in the ISO/IEC Directives,Part 2.rights reserved
