Inspection bodies
Accreditation work. Impartiality, competence and inspection processes, with the evidence underneath.
Where you are
ISO 17020 turns largely on demonstrable impartiality and demonstrable competence. Those are precisely the two things you cannot reconstruct on the spot when an assessor asks.
In Check HenQ you record it at the moment it happens, and afterwards it sits at the requirement it belongs to.
Item by item
| What the standard asks for | Where you handle it in Check HenQ |
|---|---|
| Impartiality | Record and assess risks to independence, with the measure linked to them. |
| Authorisations | Who may carry out which inspection, since when and on what basis. |
| Competence | Training, supervision, assessment in practice and re-assessment per inspector. |
| Inspection processes | The processes mapped, with the work instructions and forms that belong to them. |
| Equipment | Calibration, maintenance and status, with alerts before it expires. |
| Complaints and appeals | A separate workflow, with deadlines and the handling recorded. |
| Internal audit | Plan, carry out and chase findings until they are closed. |
| Management review | The input is already waiting, including trends from complaints and nonconformities. |
The difference
The requirements are already there. From day one you have a structure to hang your existing material on.
Every action, audit and inspection you attach to a requirement counts. You do not collect just before the audit.
Continuously, with a score that explains itself. In March you know what you will meet in November.
Combining
That is the rule rather than the exception. ISO 17020 is often mentioned in the same breath as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. In Check HenQ they hang off the same documents and the same processes, so you do the work once and demonstrate it several times.
Multiple standards means unlimited here. See pricing, or the overview of all standards.
