The overall framework for conformity assessment follows the approach defined in ISO/IEC 17065:2012.

This document has been developed following practical use and in consultation with key stakeholders, national accreditation bodies, and ISO's policy committee for conformity assessment (CASCO).

ISO/IEC 29110-3-3:2016 is addressed to people and certification bodies who have a direct relationship with the assessment process based on the VSE profiles.
