Third party conformity assessment is often utilized to provide a
higher level of confidence in compliance to purchasers and users since the
third party’s decision-making process is free and clear from any influence of
the business between the first and second parties. Third parties can be
laboratories on whose test data the determinations of compliance are based:
inspection bodies, certification bodies and/or registration bodies.
There
are so many factors that go into and need to be identified before a product,
service or system can be analyzed in preparation for system design. These
conformity assessments procedures often guide the international community to
select a third party to ensure that across all borders the end users will have
a degree of confidence across many platforms and industries.
Additionally, accreditation may provide the system with competition and
multiple market acceptance that further enhances the value, efficiency and
effectiveness of the conformity assessment.
