ISO/IEC 17020:2012-Inspection Body WORKING DOCUMENT
ISO/IEC 17020:2012-Inspection BodyWORKING DOCUMENTNOTES:1.This working document is intended as a checklist for the assessor when conducting conformityassessments to the ISO/IEC 17020 International Standard and ILAC P15.2.Please note in the Comments column any deficiencies in the laboratory’s management systemidentified during the assessment (see item #3). These observations may be useful when preparing theassessment report and indicate to the reviewer that a thorough assessment was conducted. It is alsoimperative to note evidence of compliance, making reference to procedures/work instructions, dates,and other specific observations.3.Do not recommend specific solutions to deficiencies, as this would constitute a conflict of interest.4.Assess the system only to the relevant standard and to the requested scope of accreditation. Do notbe concerned with system requirements stemming from: Company- or facility-imposed policiesRegulatory bodiesSubcontractorsOther sources5.If additional questions arise during the assessment, indicate them (and the appropriate responses)either in the blank working document pages at the end of this document or in the empty rows includedin some of the sections.6.Please read the questions carefully, as the “preferred” answer in some cases may be “no” or“not applicable.”7.If, at any time, the assessment team requires assistance in the interpretation of therequirements of ISO/IEC 17020: 2012 or ILAC P15:2016, contact the PJLA office immediately.Assessment Number: Date(s):Client:Address:Contact/Management Rep.:Lead Assessor:Assessment Team:Form #LF-56-InspectionIssued: 4/16Revised: 3/21Rev. 1.2Page 1 of 41

Threats and inducementsmay originate from inside or outside theinspection body and may happen at anytime. The inspection body should recordperceived and explicit risks to impartialityof inspections. All personnel working onbehalf of the inspection body, should beaware of aware of the responsibility to actimpartially, be involved accordingly in theinspection body’s impartiality measuresand have appropriate access to providerecords as issues arise. The inspectionbody’s analysis of risks to impartialityshould include details of the inspectionbody’s responses to such risks.4.1.5Does the inspection body havecommitment from top management toimpartiality?ILACP154.1.5aNOTE: The inspection body should havea documented statement emphasizing itscommitment to impartiality in carrying outits inspection activities, managingconflicts of interest and ensuring theobjectivity of its inspection activities.Actions emanating from the topmanagement should not contradict thisstatement.NoteNoteILACP154.1.5bNOTE: One way for the top managementto emphasize its commitment toimpartiality is to make relevant statementsand policies publicly availableNoteNote4.1.6Is the inspection body independent to theextent required with regard to theconditions under which it performs itsservices?Depending on these conditions does itmeet the minimum requirements outlinedbelow (stipulated in Annex A)?4.1.6a) Does the inspection body meet the typeA requirements of Clause A.1 (appliesto third party inspection bodies only)?Form #LF-56-InspectionIssued: 4/16Revised: 3/21Rev. 1.2Page 3 of 41

This alsomeans that a risk analysis resulting incontrol measures to minimize theimpartiality risks of a situation wherethere is no compliance with theseType A requirements is not possible.Hence, only elimination of the situationthat is not compliant with these TypeA requirements is possible.NoteNoteComments regardingdeficiencies/effectiveness(if applicable)Form #LF-56-InspectionIssued: 4/16Revised: 3/21Rev. 1.2Page 4 of 41
