Full title and description

ISO/PAS 17004:2005 — Conformity assessment — Disclosure of information — Principles and requirements. Publicly Available Specification that provides principles and recommended requirements for the disclosure of information in the context of conformity assessment standards and ISO/CASCO work. Intended primarily as an internal guidance tool for standards development rather than as a stand-alone normative document for certification/assessment bodies.

Abstract

ISO/PAS 17004:2005 sets out high-level principles and requirements relating to disclosure of information where such disclosure is an element of conformity assessment standards. The document was produced to guide ISO/CASCO working groups when addressing information disclosure during standards development and is not intended to be applied directly as a normative procedure for conformity assessment activities. Publication: October 2005; later withdrawn.

Scope

The PAS provides principles and recommended requirements for the element of disclosure of information as it relates to conformity assessment standards. It was produced for internal use by ISO/CASCO working groups to inform development of ISO/IEC conformity assessment documents and is explicitly not intended as a stand-alone normative instrument for carrying out conformity assessment or certification activities. The standard was withdrawn by ISO in 2017.

Key topics and requirements

• Principles for disclosure of information in conformity assessment standards (transparency, relevance, proportionality).
• Recommended requirements and considerations for when and how information should be disclosed within conformity assessment processes and documents.
• Guidance for ISO/CASCO working groups on incorporating disclosure elements into draft standards.
• Clarification that the PAS is guidance for standards development and not a prescriptive normative document for assessment bodies.

Typical use and users

Primary users were ISO/IEC CASCO participants, standards developers, and technical committees drafting or revising conformity assessment standards. Secondary audiences included national standards bodies, conformity assessment scheme developers, and organizations interested in transparency and disclosure practices in assessment schemes. Because the document was a PAS for internal guidance, conformity assessment bodies typically referred to it only when reviewing or aligning with ISO/CASCO guidance, rather than using it as a compliance checklist.

Related standards

Related ISO/CASCO and conformity-assessment documents and series include various ISO/IEC conformity assessment standards (for example, other PAS/ISO documents in the 17000 family and complementary guidance such as ISO/PAS 17001–17005 series items and ISO/IEC 17065, ISO/IEC 17021 series, depending on subject area). National adoptions and translations (UNE, NEN, BIS, etc.) exist where the PAS was adopted identically. Note that because ISO/PAS 17004:2005 has been withdrawn, users should consult current ISO/CASCO outputs and relevant active ISO/IEC conformity assessment standards for up-to-date requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/PAS 17004:2005 is a Publicly Available Specification titled "Conformity assessment — Disclosure of information — Principles and requirements" that provides guidance on disclosure of information in the context of conformity assessment standards and ISO/CASCO work. It was published by ISO in October 2005.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers high-level principles and suggested requirements for when and how information should be disclosed as part of conformity assessment standards and provides guidance for ISO/CASCO working groups drafting such standards. The document is advisory and intended for standards development use rather than direct application by assessment bodies.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: The primary users are standards developers and ISO/CASCO working groups; secondary users include national standards bodies, scheme developers and stakeholders interested in transparency practices in conformity assessment. It was not designed as a normative checklist for certification bodies.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO/PAS 17004:2005 is withdrawn (ISO record shows withdrawal stage 95.99 with cancellation listed on 23 May 2017). Users should consult current ISO/IEC conformity assessment standards and more recent CASCO guidance for up-to-date requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It was developed in the context of ISO/CASCO work on conformity assessment and related PAS/ISO documents addressing elements of conformity assessment (other ISO/PAS items and ISO/IEC 17000-series documents). Some national bodies produced identical adoptions (UNE, NEN, BIS, etc.). However, as a withdrawn PAS, it should be referenced only for historical or developmental context.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Disclosure of information; transparency; conformity assessment; ISO/CASCO guidance; PAS 17004.
