Conformity assessment explained (operationally)
What “assessment” means in practice: processes, artifacts, and an audit-ready evidence bundle.
Orientation only. Not legal advice.
Who this matters for
High-risk teams preparing for audits and go-live.
What you’ll leave with
A practical plan for assembling evidence and de-risking the assessment process.
What it is (plain language)
- A structured way to show your system meets applicable requirements.
- In practice: documentation, controls, tests, and repeatable processes (QMS).
- Treat it as an evidence program, not a one-time document sprint.
Minimum viable assessment prep
- Define intended purpose and high-risk rationale (or non-high-risk rationale).
- Build Annex IV-aligned technical documentation early (iterate on every release).
- Establish risk management + verification evidence for mitigations.
- Implement logging + human oversight and retain intervention records.
- Create a consistent evidence export package you can regenerate.
Evidence you keep
- Technical documentation and change history
- Evaluation reports (accuracy/robustness) and thresholds
- Policy packs, approvals, and review records
- Post-deployment monitoring reports and incident response outcomes
