UKAS has published a new AI Technical Bulletin, in partnership with DakkS, to support Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) in the responsible adoption and use of artificial intelligence (AI) within accredited activities.
The Technical Bulletin – available in English and German language formats – provides high-level, internationally aligned guidance on the responsible development, deployment and use of AI technologies by CABs.
As AI technologies continue to develop at pace, CABs are increasingly exploring their use across both internal support functions and conformity assessment processes. UKAS and DakkS are keen to support this innovation while ensuring that the integrity, impartiality and robustness of accreditation are maintained.
The joint bulletin is designed to be read in parallel with the UKAS Technical Bulletin on AI – published in June 2025 – which provides detailed, clause-by-clause guidance aligned to ISO/IEC Level 3 standards. It is designed to support those responsible for implementing and maintaining compliance within accredited organisations.
Juliette Love, Technical Director at UKAS, said: “AI presents a significant opportunity for conformity assessment bodies, but its adoption must be carefully managed to ensure continued confidence in accredited outcomes.
These bulletins are intended to support organisations in understanding how existing requirements apply, rather than introducing new ones, and to encourage a consistent and responsible approach to the use of AI across all sectors.
We are keen to work collaboratively with CABs as this area develops, particularly in sharing practical experiences that can help shape future guidance.”
UKAS is keen to work collaboratively with CABs and stakeholders who are actively developing or exploring AI solutions.
Organisations interested in contributing to future case studies or sharing their experiences are encouraged to get in touch.
