Abstract:
ISO/IEC 17020 revised and was published earlier this year. Inspection bodies accredited to the 2012 edition of the standard will be required to transition to the new 2026 requirements over the next three years. This one-day course, instructed by ANAB’s Senior Accreditation Manager Paul Matera, will assist attendees in preparing their quality management system for that transition. Paul Matera represented the U.S. as a committee member and Task Group Chair on the ISO/IEC 17020:2026 working group. Attendees receive a clause-by-clause review of the changes to the new standard, as well as gain an understanding of the main changes and the reasoning behind those changes.
The course includes an End User License Agreement (EULA) copy of the ISO/IEC 17020:2026 standard and a course workbook with a crosswalk between the 2012 and 2026 revisions.
After the course, attendees have the opportunity to take a 2-hour online exam to demonstrate competency on the concepts of the standard and updated requirements. Upon passing the exam, attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion.
COST PER PERSON: $750.00 (includes standard)
