The ISO/CASCO Toolbox – 10SMA /CASCO CASCO Working Groups ISO/CASCO P Members nominate to the WG. A-Liaison members nominate to WG. D-Liaison can be established between an organization and a WG. They are nominated as experts and required to input as experts. WG group members act as independent experts not as national delegates. The WG develops a Working draft document (WD). It evolves into a Committee Draft (CD) document. The CD goes to member bodies who distribute to NMC (NMC) for CASCO. At this stage no longer the experts but the national consensus comments. Responsible for the development of the document (Standard/Guide) (DIS and FDIS and publication).

The ISO/CASCO Toolbox – 11SMA /CASCO Topical issues related to conformity assessment IAF-ILAC-ISO action plan on monitoring the effectiveness of accredited management system certification Harmonized sanctions Develop metrics to measure CBs level of activity AB Assessor competence Validation audits Market feedback Transfer of knowledge through workshops on topical issues at every CASCO plenary: 2010 plenary – Risk and conformity assessment. 982,832 ISO 9001 certificates in 176 countries (in 2008)

The ISO/CASCO Toolbox – 12SMA /CASCO Market surveillance – develop an information document on Good Practice for use by developing economies and how to promote existing standards to regulators Identifying best practice within successful sectors (automobile, aeronautics, telecoms railways etc) and determining if they can be transposed to the CASCO toolbox Annual management survey on MSS Web conferencing to be used extensively for WG meetings Developing countries and CASCO and UNIDO/DEVCO/CASCO publications –Most recent is publication of Building Trust Topical issues related to conformity assessment

The ISO/CASCO Toolbox – 13SMA /CASCO CASCO Newsletter CASCO has initiated a newsletter (3 issues/year) to keep the members and others well informed Recent developments in conformity assessment Progress with the work program Policy issues General interest

The ISO/CASCO Toolbox – 14SMA /CASCO Conclusions on Conformity Assessment A global framework for conformity assessment will increase consumer and regulator confidence by: Providing a common interpretation of test results Providing a mechanism for acceptance of certificates and reports Achieving consistency and building confidence in products and services Applying to International Standards a principle of neutrality Defining good practices for market surveillance.
