ISO/IEC 17065 — Practical worksheet

Practical learning

Follow a product-certification scheme through evaluation, review, decision and surveillance. Identify distinct responsibilities and licence conditions; a successful laboratory test alone is not certification under a scheme.

Learning outcomes: interpret a product-certification scheme and distinguish evaluation, review, decision and surveillance. Use scheme rules, product scope, test evidence and a change notification. The exercise receives a test pass after a supplier change but no review against all scheme requirements. Identify further evidence and separate the decision responsibility. Assessment checks scheme-specific reasoning and traceability; a test report alone is not a product certificate, and training completion does not create certification authority.

Inputs for this worksheet

Use an anonymised, authorised example and identify the process, product or activity to which the exercise applies. Obtain the referenced edition or programme rules and record the applicable criterion before assessing a gap. Keep source records, assumptions and your proposed next action together. Do not submit confidential or personal records without permission; simulated inputs are suitable for this worksheet.

Check your evidence and its limits

Compare your answer with the stated evidence and failure case. A completed worksheet is a learning aid, not an audit report, an accredited assessment, a certification decision or product market authorisation. Kayra can discuss preparation support or a related training need. Any real decision requires the applicable rules, competent people and the responsible organisation or authority; this exercise creates no professional registration or certification powers.
