Accreditation of Inspection Bodies (ISO/IEC 17020, new edition)

May 6th, 2026

This 3-day in-person APAC training course is kindly hosted by the Accreditation Office for Standards Conformity Assessment Capacity (AOSC), Viet Nam. The training course is on the use of ISO/IEC 17020:2026 Conformity Assessment – Requirements for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection to accredit inspection bodies (note the training course may be using the ISO/IEC FDIS 17020 version of the revised standard). The course will also cover relevant ILAC requirements, including ILAC P8:11/2023 and ILAC P15:05/2020.

Attendees are expected to be APAC Member personnel (assessors, managers, accreditation scheme developers) that are either undertaking this type of accreditation or are considering to do so in the future.

Due to anticipated high registration interest in this course, at this time each APAC Member and Affiliate may register a maximum of two (2) people to attend. Further places may become available closer to the end of the registration period depending on number of registrants confirmed.

All further information and online registration details will be available on the event registration website once released. Attendees must upload evidence (e.g. letter, copy of email, etc.) that an APAC Member or Affiliate in their economy has approved their attendance at this APAC event. Registrations will close on 6 April 2026.
