TS EN ISO/IEC 17050-1

TS EN ISO/IEC 17050-1 addresses the general requirements for a supplier’s declaration of conformity when conformity of a product, process, or service to specified normative documents is to be stated in writing. Its focus is the structure and use of a declaration made under the supplier’s own responsibility, rather than third-party certification of conformity.

Purpose of a supplier’s declaration of conformity

A declaration of conformity may refer to technical specifications, standards, specifications, or other normative documents. In general technical terms, this creates a common way to communicate that an item meets the relevant requirements, regardless of sector. Such declarations are used to provide a clear, traceable statement of conformity, support business transactions, and consolidate conformity information in a formal document.

What this standard covers and what it does not

This standard addresses when a written conformity claim may be made and the general framework for that declaration, but it does not by itself define product performance requirements, inspection methods, or sector-specific criteria. TS EN ISO/IEC 17050-1 therefore provides a cross-sector framework for declarations of conformity, while the detailed technical requirements remain in the relevant normative documents.

This listing refers to a withdrawn edition. The technical subject is how a supplier’s own declaration is organised and presented within the conformity assessment system, so the declaration’s purpose, referenced documents, and responsibility are clearly expressed.
