ISO/IEC 29110-3-3:2016 contains the requirements for certification bodies performing conformity assessments, of the requirements contained in VSE profile specifications (e.g. ISO/IEC 29110‑4-1 for VSE software basic profile), using process assessments and maturity models. This document is based on published ISO/IEC standards and guides for

a) certification bodies (see ISO/IEC 17065)

b) the process assessment and organizational process maturity performed according to the requirements of the ISO/IEC 33001 to ISO/IEC 33099 family of process assessment standards, and

c) based on ISO/IEC 29169 to support an environment which encourages worldwide recognition of VSE profiles conformity assessment results.

The overall framework for conformity assessment follows the approach defined in ISO/IEC 17065:2012.

This document has been developed following practical use and in consultation with key stakeholders, national accreditation bodies, and ISO's policy committee for conformity assessment (CASCO).

ISO/IEC 29110-3-3:2016 is addressed to people and certification bodies who have a direct relationship with the assessment process based on the VSE profiles.

It is intended that ISO/IEC/TR 29110‑1, ISO/IEC 29110‑2-1 and ISO/IEC 29110‑4-1 (containing VSE profile specifications) be read first when investigating the possibility of conducting VSE profile certification.
