ISO and IEC have published ISO/IEC TS 17012, a technical specification providing comprehensive guidelines for the use of remote auditing methods in auditing management systems.
The ISO/CASCO working group revising ISO/IEC 17024 held a face-to-face meeting at the ISO Central Secretariat between 18 and 20 July 2023.
