About This Item
TS EN ISO/IEC 17029 provides a common framework for bodies that perform validation and verification in conformity assessment. The standard focuses on competence, consistent operation and impartiality, and it applies to internal, second-party and independent third-party bodies alike. In practical terms, it addresses whether a claim is judged plausible for its intended purpose through validation, or stated correctly through verification.
The technical difference between validation and verification
In general technical usage, verification and validation are closely related but distinct. Verification asks whether a statement, dataset, report or calculation has been correctly presented against defined criteria. Validation asks whether a claim, model, method or programme is suitable and reasonable for its intended use. TS EN ISO/IEC 17029 brings both activities under one umbrella, while not requiring a body to offer both services.
Programme-based application and recognition
This standard is intended to be used together with sector-specific programmes. It establishes the generic requirements, while the detailed process rules, technical criteria and acceptance conditions are supplied by the relevant programme. That structure supports consistent assurance across sectors and provides a common reference for accreditation, peer assessment, regulatory recognition and other forms of acceptance by authorities, owners of schemes, industry bodies, customers or consumers.
