This is the first in a series of three modules intended to enable an understanding of conformity assessment schemes (CAS) and the importance of these schemes within accredited conformity assessment activity.
Note – The second module in the series can be found here and Module 3 can be found here: Part A, Part B, Part C. Where reference is made to these modules, it is to highlight that there will be follow-up and expansion of those points in subsequent modules.
The ‘scope’ of the modules is limited currently to inspection and certification schemes relating to the certification of persons, products, processes and services.
