COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in a significant increase in the use of remote techniques for auditing, assessment and evaluation.

IAF, ILAC and ISO have produced a survey to collect the views of the conformity assessment community and those that rely on conformity assessment results, such as regulators, on the use of these remote techniques. The survey results will be used by IAF, ILAC and ISO to help assess the impact of remote techniques’ increased use and, where needed, to make improvements to ensure more efficient and effective auditing, assessment and evaluation.

We encourage organizations and individuals engaging in remote activities to complete this survey and share the link with customers, stakeholders and any others who may wish to contribute information.

The survey will run until 8 August 2021 and can be accessed via the following link: https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90343186/IAF-ILAC-ISO-Survey-on-Remote-Audit-Assessment-Evaluation
