Conformity assessment

Conformity assessment, also known as compliance assessment ^{[1], [2], [3]}, is any activity to determine, directly or indirectly, that a process, product, or service meets relevant technical standards and fulfills relevant requirements.^[4]

Conformity assessment activities may include:

• Testing
• Surveillance
• Inspection
• Auditing
• Certification
• Registration
• Accreditation

Additionally, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) governs conformity assessment through the Agreement on Mutual Recognition in Relation to Conformity Assessment (Signed July 4, 2000)
