To celebrate and support World Standards Day, 14 October, ANAB is very pleased to announce the first ever Conformity Assessment Case Study: Conformity Assessment in Your Backyard. This event serves as a benchmark of conformity assessment knowledge and skill.

The case study is a free, online event that allows users to gauge their understanding of conformity assessment fundamentals and their ability to apply them. These fundamental principles have been articulated in ISO/IEC 17000 since 2005 and are equally applicable to all conformity assessments.

Does your understanding of conformity assessment go beyond just those activities in which you participate? Can you apply basic principles to understand conformity assessment in any situation, which also shows the ability to optimize or develop new conformity assessment solutions? Test your knowledge by participating in our case study!

Participation in this event will provide each user with feedback on their understanding of the fundamental principles, as well as areas where they may be able to improve. Conformity assessment bodies can benefit by benchmarking the knowledge and skill of staff with responsibilities for compliance with international standards.

This event is open to anyone and everyone interested in conformity assessment, such as:

• Top management of a conformity assessment body
• Sales, marketing, and business development staff looking to expand the value their organization delivers
• Staff responsible for their organization’s successful completion of conformity assessment, including accreditation
• Staff performing conformity assessment activities
• Consultants advising clients on the choice of conformity assessment or how best to create it or complete it

Conformity assessment opportunities and challenges come from all directions and at an ever-increasing pace.  Benchmarking knowledge and skill on basic concepts shows the degree of readiness to deal with conformity assessment in any situation.  Where training is needed for improvement, or to turn a specialist into a more valuable generalist, ANAB has the training products to meet the needs.

We hope you find the Conformity Assessment Case Study useful, informative, and interesting.  And for those who want the benefit of ANAB training before the Case Study, please visit ANAB’s web site for the 4-3-3 Conformity Assessment Paradigm^TM training!
