Content of the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)

​

 BS EN ISO/IEC 17050-1:2010 (Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity — Part 1: General requirements)

​

​​This standard specifies the minimum information that a supplier’s declaration must contain so that it is valid, clear, and traceable.

​

The declaration should include:

​

1. Unique identification of the declaration (e.g., a reference number or code).

2. Name and contact details of the supplier issuing the declaration.

3. Identification of the object of the declaration (e.g., product, process, service, system, or person being declared).

4. Statement of conformity — clear wording that the identified object conforms with specified requirements.

5. Reference to the standards, specifications, or other normative documents against which conformity is declared.

6. Date and place of issue of the declaration.

7. Signature or equivalent confirmation by the supplier or authorised person.

 

In short, following these requirements ensures that a supplier’s declaration of conformity is unambiguous, properly identified, and linked to both the supplier and the relevant requirements, so that customers, regulators, or other interested parties can rely on it.
