ISO/IEC 17007:2009 provides principles and guidance for developing normative documents that contain:

• specified requirements for objects of conformity assessment to fulfil;
• specified requirements for conformity assessment systems that can be employed when demonstrating whether an object of conformity assessment fulfils specified requirements.

ISO/IEC 17007:2009 is intended for use by standards developers not applying the ISO/IEC Directives, industry associations and consortia, purchasers, regulators, consumers and non-government groups, accreditation bodies, conformity assessment bodies, conformity assessment scheme owners, and other interested parties, such as insurance organizations.
