Conformity assessment - General requirements for thirdparty marks of conformity
This document provides general requirements for third-party marks of conformity, including their
issue and use.
This document is applicable to third-party marks of conformity issued and used in different forms and
various media, including digital representation employing electronically stored and displayed marks,
machine readable code, blockchain (distributed ledger) or other electronic means.
NOTE 1 This document can also be used as guidance in using marks of conformity in activities other than
third-party conformity assessment.
NOTE 2 Third-party marks of conformity in accordance with this document also include symbols of
recognition, such as accreditation symbols. For consistency of terminology, they are referred to as accreditation
marks.
NOTE 3 Third-party marks of conformity in accordance with this document can include logos (e.g. the sign of
a conformity assessment body or trademarks), symbols (e.g. the representation of recognition in an accreditation
agreement or the depiction of the applicable programme) or a combination thereof.
NOTE 4 Third-party marks of conformity as a graphic representation of demonstrated conformity in
accordance with this document can be a combination of multiple marks (e.g. indications of compliance with
several sets of specifications, codes for individually fulfilled specifications).
NOTE 5 This document does not apply to markings that provide indication of a designation, a code, or a
classification only. Furthermore, it does not apply to graphic representations (e.g. of conformity assessment
systems or schemes/programmes) or logos (e.g. of an association of accreditation bodies or an association of
conformity assessment bodies).
NOTE 6 Third-party marks of conformity are based on a conformity assessment scheme that includes the
function of surveillance.

About This Item
TS EN ISO/IEC 17030 is a conformity assessment standard that sets out general requirements for third-party marks of conformity, including how they are issued and used. Its focus is the trustworthy, consistent and intelligible presentation of a third party’s indication that a product, process, service or system conforms to specified requirements.
What a third-party mark represents
In general technical terms, a mark of conformity can be a logo, symbol, sign or a combination of these elements that indicates demonstrated conformity to defined requirements. Such marks are typically tied to a conformity assessment scheme and supported by surveillance functions to maintain confidence in continued use. This document applies not only to printed or physical markings, but also to digital representations stored and displayed electronically, machine-readable codes and other electronic means, including blockchain-based forms.
Clear boundaries of the scope
- It does not apply to markings that only indicate a designation, code or classification.
- It does not cover graphic representations of conformity assessment systems or schemes/programmes.
- A logo used simply as an association or body identifier is outside its scope unless it serves as a third-party mark of conformity.
- Accreditation symbols are included here as accreditation marks.
- Combined marks showing compliance with multiple specifications may also fall within the document’s concept.
The standard therefore addresses meaning, governance and controlled use more than graphic design. It helps ensure that a mark communicates the right level of confidence, remains traceable to the relevant conformity assessment basis and is used in a way that reduces ambiguity across labels, documents and digital channels.
