Abstract

This paper introduces the implementation of ISO Guide 34 and ISO 17034 in the Mainland of P R China, especially from the accreditation viewpoint. The comparisons are made regarding different aspects in accreditation, including the accreditation number, the growth (rate) as well as the findings identified during onsite assessments between reference material producers and testing laboratories. The distribution of the non-conformities is also discussed to show the impact of the changed structure from ISO Guide 34 to ISO 17034, with the presentation of highlighted typical non-conformities against ISO 17034.
