ATS starts performing assessments as per SRPS ISO/IEC 17065:2013
Current eventsSRPS ISO/IEC 17065:2013 Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services
Following the 18th April 2013 information relating to transitional periods for the application of the new version of SRPS ISO/IEC 17065:2013 Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services, we hereby inform you that about the following:
- after 15.12.2013 ATS shall no longer accept applications as per SRPS EN 45011:2004;
- ATS will, on 01.03.2014, commence performing assessments as per SRPS ISO/IEC 17065:2013 Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services;
- Assessments of accredited certification bodies (CBs) operating certification of products in the light of transition/approximation to or harmonisation with the new edition of the standard will be carried out during regular surveillance assessments, but no later than 15.03.2015. With that end in view ATS will harmonise its assessment activities with each accredited CB;
- Prior to each assessment for the purpose of transition/approximation to or harmonisation with the new edition of the standard ATS will ask CBs to submit “gap” analysis/implementation plan so that CBs can show the mode in which they implemented new 2013 standard requirements and a cross-reference table showing how the SRPS ISO/IEC 17065:2013 requirements were incorporated into the CB documented management system. This document will be used by the ATS assessment teams when performing assessments;
- after 15.09.2015 all accreditations granted as per SRPS EN 45011:2004 shall no longer be valid. Accreditations granted to accredited CBs operating certification of products that fail to adapt to the new version of the standard by the defined deadline shall be withdrawn.
