Overview

ISO/IEC TS 17035:2024 - Conformity assessment - Guidelines for validation and verification programmes (Technical Specification, first edition) provides practical guidance for developing, operating and recognising validation/verification programmes. Designed to be used alongside ISO/IEC 17029, this TS clarifies programme content, governance and processes for bodies that issue validation statements or verification statements and for programme owners, regulators and other interested parties.

Key topics

The document organises guidance around programme design and operation, including:

Programme content
- Scope of validation/verification: definition and boundaries of claims to be validated or verified.
- Competence and impartiality: expectations for validation/verification bodies and personnel.
- Operational steps: recommended steps for planning and executing validation and verification activities.
- Evidence gathering activities: how bodies should collect, assess and use objective evidence (historical data for verification; projected data for validation).
- Reporting: structure and purpose of validation/verification statements and reports.
Programme development
- Guidance for creating rules, procedures and management systems for sector-specific or cross-sector programmes.
Programme maintenance and recognition
- Requirements for ongoing review, improvement and the process to recognise programmes (including informative annexes on logos/marks and recognition criteria).
Definitions and terms
- Clear terminology for claims, validation, verification, programme owner, validation/verification body, and statements-aligned with ISO/IEC 17029 and ISO/IEC 17000.

Applications

ISO/IEC TS 17035:2024 is practical for:

Validation/verification bodies establishing or improving programme-aligned services.
Programme owners (government agencies, trade associations, industry groups) developing sector schemes or rules.
Accreditors and regulators assessing the adequacy of programme design and operation.
Organisations seeking assurance over claims (environmental data, projected outcomes, product/system assertions) who want clarity on how independent validation or verification should be structured.

Use cases include verifying historical emissions data, validating projected performance claims, or creating a recognised scheme for recurring conformity assessments.
