This standard specifies general terms and definitions related to conformity assessment (including accreditation of conformity assessment bodies) and its application in trade facilitation. Appendix A explains the functional approach to conformity assessment to further facilitate communication and understanding among conformity assessment service users, conformity assessment bodies and their accreditation bodies in voluntary and mandatory areas. Many concepts may be involved in describing a particular conformity assessment activity, and it is not the purpose of this International Standard to provide a glossary for all such concepts. Terms and definitions are given only when the concept defined by a term cannot be understood from ordinary language usage of the term, or when the definition in an existing standard does not apply.
