What this product reads, and the four markets it serves, in market order.

Read from the real rules

The rule this record is built from

ISO/IEC FDIS 17065:2026, Conformity assessment, Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services. Edition 2, 29 pages, ISO/CASCO, ICS 03.120.20. The public record is at iso.org/standard/94443.html. The edition in force is ISO/IEC 17065:2012, and every requirement on this site is our statement of that text, cited to its clause.

This product is for the bodies the scope provision names: bodies certifying products, processes and services. The same record is useful to a scheme owner or an accreditation body, but the free check is written for the certification body.

United States

The held framework that applies to the buyer's activity is the US Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSC) Manufacturer and Importer Duties, with 14 controls. It matters to a product certification body whose clients make or import consumer products: the client's duties under the Act shape what the certificate can and cannot support, and the body's own impartiality and competence are governed by ISO/IEC 17065.

European Union

The held framework is the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR, Regulation 2023/988), with 22 controls. It applies to consumer product safety and to the traceability and information duties of economic operators. The FDIS carries an informative Annex ZA that relates the European Standard to Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, the accreditation and market surveillance regulation. That regulation is named here and not held in the graph, so its requirements are not stated.

United Kingdom

No held framework in the record covers UK product certification or UKAS accreditation. The obligations are named and not stated: the UKCA marking regime and accreditation by UKAS. A body serving the UK market should read the current government guidance and its accreditation body's rules directly.

Australia

No held framework in the record covers Australian product certification or JAS-ANZ accreditation. The obligations are named and not stated: the Australian Consumer Law product safety provisions and accreditation by JAS-ANZ. A body serving the Australian market should read the current regulator and accreditation body guidance directly.

What this means for the record

The clause record states the ISO/IEC 17065 requirement. The market sections name the framework that shapes the client's product or the body's accreditation route. Where a market is not held, the obligation is named and left unstated, rather than paraphrased from memory.

The four-market scan was run against the held record on 20 October 2026. The US and EU choices are held frameworks. The UK and Australia sections name obligations that the record does not hold.
