The mail that I have received for ISO 17020 audit says... Peer evaluation registration scheme of inspection bodies.

I am not an expert at the particular topic, so for starters, I looked around and found this (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ISO+17020+Peer+evaluation+registration+scheme+of+inspection+bodies&btnG=Search). That may help.

Hi Amjad,

If the national accreditation body have to enter the Mutual Recognition Agreement they have to undergo a peer evaluation by two international accreditation organisations, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF)

This peer evaluation means that a team of international peer evaluators
evaluates the national system of accreditation to ensure that it does indeed meet the international criteria (ISO/IEC Guides 58 and 61) and that the accreditations granted by that national accreditation body are indeed similar to those granted by other members of the MLA.
