What is ISO/IEC 17020?

ISO/IEC 17020 is an international standard defining competence requirements for inspection bodies, focusing on impartiality, independence, technical competence and consistent reporting.

Type A Inspection Body Approach

The “Type A” model ensures that inspections are conducted independently from inspected parties and project stakeholders, enhancing report credibility especially in high-investment energy projects.

Importance in Energy Projects

Solar (PV), Wind and Energy Storage (BESS) projects involve risks during design, procurement, construction and commissioning. ISO/IEC 17020 ensures objective monitoring and evidence-based reporting.

RAMIRA’s Approach
