What is ISO/IEC 17020:2012?
ISO/IEC 17020 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for the competence of bodies performing inspection. It is applicable to inspection bodies of Type A, B, and C, where:
- Type A: Fully independent of the parties involved (TNV’s category),
- Type B and C: May be part of an organization but must manage conflicts of interest.
This standard focuses on impartiality, confidentiality, and technical competence, ensuring the inspection body operates with integrity and accuracy.
TNV Inspection Division, being accredited as a Type A Inspection Body, is completely independent, ensuring that every inspection is fair, objective, and transparent. This provides our clients with the confidence that their systems, processes, or products meet defined requirements.
Importance of UAF Accreditation
The United Accreditation Foundation (UAF) is a globally recognized accreditation body. When an inspection body like TNV is accredited by UAF, it means our systems have been audited and validated against stringent international standards. UAF accreditation offers several advantages:
- Credibility: Accreditation from UAF enhances your organization’s trustworthiness in the eyes of regulators and customers.
- Global Recognition: UAF-accredited certificates are widely accepted and respected around the world.
- Regulatory Compliance: Many government tenders and private contracts require ISO 17020 certified inspections.
By choosing a UAF-accredited partner, clients ensure their inspection services are recognized, traceable, and legally valid across borders.
Our Key Inspection Services
TNV offers a wide range of inspection services tailored to meet the unique needs of each industry. Our inspection solutions are supported by skilled inspectors, strict protocols, and modern technology. Below are some of our core services:
1. Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
Pre-shipment inspections are critical in international trade to ensure that the goods being shipped comply with the buyer’s specifications. Our PSI service includes quantity verification, quality check, packaging review, and conformity assessment. This prevents costly rejections, delays, and reputational damage.
2. Third-Party Inspection Services
We act as an independent third-party inspection agency to validate that your suppliers or manufacturers are delivering what was promised. This service is crucial in contract enforcement, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.
3. In-Process and Final Product Inspections
Whether it’s during manufacturing or after production, we verify the quality, functionality, and compliance of products. These inspections help prevent defects, reduce waste, and enhance customer satisfaction.
4. Container Loading Supervision (CLS)
Our inspectors monitor the container loading process to ensure correct handling, accurate quantity, and proper packing. This minimizes the risk of damage during transit.
5. Vendor Assessment and Factory Audits
Before engaging with a supplier, our audit team can evaluate the factory’s capabilities, systems, and past performance. This enables informed decision-making and reduces supplier-related risks.
