GB/T27040--2010/IS0/IEC17040:2005 This standard is equivalent to IS0/1EC17040:2005 "Conformity Assessment General Requirements for Peer Review of Conformity Assessment Bodies and Accreditation Bodies" (English version).
For ease of use, this standard has made the following editorial changes: If the international standards cited or referenced in this standard have corresponding national standards, the national standards shall be adopted and their technical contents shall be consistent. -3.2 "See 7.10" in the note is changed to "See 7.11" because it does not correspond to the main text. Appendix C of this standard is a normative appendix, and Appendix A and Appendix B are informative appendices. This standard is proposed and managed by the National Technical Committee for Certification and Accreditation of Standardization (SAC/TC261). The drafting units of this standard are: China Household Electrical Appliance Research Institute, National Certification and Accreditation Administration, China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment, China Quality Certification Center.
The main drafters of this standard are: Li Xuwei, Hao Xin, Xie Cheng, Gong Chixie, Zhai Peijun, Wang Huiling, Xu Na, Deng Yunfeng, and Liu Ting. GB/T 27040—2010/ISO/IFC 17040:2005 Peer review has been used for many years as a means of evaluating whether a particular peer group (i.e., a group of peer organizations or peer personnel) is qualified for membership. Peer review generally uses a process jointly established by existing members to determine whether a professional organization is qualified for membership. The process includes setting membership requirements and evaluating the compliance of candidate organizations with these requirements. In the field of conformity assessment, in order to ensure that the work of each organization can be reviewed and the review results can be accepted by all other members, many organizations that carry out similar work (such as testing organizations, accreditation organizations) use peer review as a means of review. With the increasing globalization of the economy, the need for mutual recognition between accreditation organizations and the need for mutual recognition between conformity assessment organizations has become increasingly urgent. As a result, each group has gradually established a peer review model suitable for its own industry, but the review methods of different groups have many similarities. Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a common standard for peer review. Of course, individual groups can adopt special requirements suitable for their specific areas of activity.
This standard is intended for any conformity assessment activities carried out by peer groups (e.g., conformity assessment bodies, accreditation bodies) (peer groups can be described in various ways, and are referred to as agreement groups in GB/T27068-2006). However, this does not mean that other groups working in different fields cannot implement peer review. It is just that these groups need to adopt appropriate organizational structures and methods to provide appropriate conditions for implementing the best peer review process and achieve twice the result with half the effort. This standard also enhances the confidence of parties who adopt or rely on conformity assessment results that the conformity assessment work is carried out in an appropriate manner by competent personnel.
Figure 1 of this standard shows the general process of peer review. The legend in Figure 1 divides the peer review process included in this standard into several stages. First, it is assumed that there is an applicant who wants to join a certain agreement group, and it is assumed that the agreement group has set some rules or requirements for applicants to join. This standard also includes the decision-making stage of group membership and the review and other stages related to the decision, which are decided independently by the specific agreement group. This standard focuses on the steps of implementing the peer review process. When necessary, some other relevant requirements outside the review process may be specified. This standard can be used in conjunction with G13/T27068·2006 for peer review processes in mandatory or voluntary areas of conformity assessment. The nature of the peer review depends on the objectives of the agreement group and the application of the results of the peer review process. The monthly standards of the agreement group may be one or more of the following!
a) Conformity of the organization with the specified requirements:
b) Equivalence of conformity assessment results between organizations;) The conformity assessment results of one organization are accepted by other organizations for use in their conformity assessment activities. Snow Product Partner Network ht

GB/T 27040—2010/IS0/IEC 17040:2005 Conformity assessment, general requirements for peer review by conformity assessment bodies and accreditation bodies
1.」This standard specifies the general requirements for the peer review process implemented by an agreed group of accreditation bodies or conformity assessment bodies, and describes the structure and operation of the agreed group related only to the peer review process. 1.2 This standard does not cover further matters such as the arrangements for the formation, organization and management of the agreement group, nor does it cover how the group determines membership within the group through peer review. In addition, procedures such as the appeal of the decision of the agreement group by the applicant are not included in this standard. 1: CB/T 27068-2006 contains further information on more matters. 1.3 This standard applies to the performance review of conformity assessment bodies that carry out the following activities: a) testing; b) product certification; c) inspection; d) management system certification (sometimes also called registration); e) personnel certification. A peer review process can include more than one of the above activities, which is particularly applicable when the body being reviewed carries out a combined assessment of multiple conformity assessment activities. It also applies to peer review between accreditation bodies, also known as peer evaluation. NOTE 2 Member bodies of an agreement group may also wish to rely on a sound peer review process to evaluate the capabilities of a peer body as a potential subcontractor. 2 Normative references

Appendix A
(Informative Appendix)
The peer review process involves considerable resource consumption, which is used to: establish the peer review process;
manage and maintain the business review process,
implement the peer review process,
implement ongoing activities to ensure the compliance of members of the agreement group, if necessary. GB/T27040—2010/ISO/IEC17040:2005 The agreement group should decide how members provide resources. For example, if the group is composed of members of similar size, experience and scope of activities, the group may decide that each member will provide the necessary human resources for the formation of the peer review team, so that no financial compensation for uneven resource consumption will be required. In addition, if some member institutions of the group are mobilized to provide a larger number of human resources for the formation of the peer review team, the group may decide to reimburse them for the expenses incurred in this regard. These compensations may include only the actual travel expenses incurred, or they may also include compensation for the time of the personnel provided by the member institutions paid at an agreed rate. The group should develop and document policies and procedures for the financial aspects of peer reviews. The policy should recognize that such costs are proportional to the risks of not complying with the requirements of the group. http.
