10 Conformity Assessment Steering Committee

The twenty third meeting of the ITU-T Conformity Assessment Steering Committee (CASC) was held in Geneva on 15 and 17 July 2026 during the ITU-T SG11 meeting.

The meeting covered the status of Testing Laboratories (TLs), proposals to update the reference table of ITU-T Recommendation suitable for C&I and list of pilot projects, as well as appointment of ITU-T technical expert.

Status of ITU Testing Laboratories Database: As of 1 July 2026, 16 testing laboratories were registered in ITU Testing Laboratories Database (https://itu.int/go/tldb). Since March 2026, one new testing laboratory had been registered, and several existing laboratories had renewed or updated their scopes of accreditation during the reporting period. More details are available TD1149-R1/GEN and in ITU Testing Laboratory Database (https://itu.int/go/tcdb).

ITU technical experts appointed by CASC: based on received LS from SG21 (TD1120/GEN) in accordance with cl.9.1 of the ITU-T CASC Procedure to Appoint ITU-T Technical Experts, Mr. Chucri A. Kardous (WHO) was appointed as an ITU-T Technical Expert for Recommendations ITU-T H.870 and ITU-T H.872. The updated list of technical experts is available in the CASC report and reflected in the CASC webpage, https://itu.int/go/casc.

C&I Reference table and C&I pilot projects: based on received inputs from SG5, SG15 and SG20, CASC revised the reference table of ITU-T Recommendations suitable for C&I testing (https://itu.int/go/reference-table) and the list of pilot projects (https://itu.int/go/pilot-projects).

C&I questionnaire: following the request to reinitiate the C&I questionnaire in order to update it with SGs inputs, it was recalled that the questionnaire was circulated directly to ITU-T members to gather information from national entities responsible for conformity assessment, type approval and related regulatory frameworks. SGs were not asked to provide inputs, while they were informed about this questionnaire in order to encourage their members to participate in. In this regard, CASC decided to do not reinitiate this questionnaire at the moment.

Collaboration with Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated (Global ACI): CASC was informed that ITU-T and Global ACI signed a Memorandum of Understanding in June 2026, replacing the previous Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2022 between ITU-T, ILAC and IAF. It was noted that this new cooperation framework will support the continued implementation of the ITU Conformity Assessment Programme and future recognition of ITU Testing Laboratories.

The next CASC meeting is planned for March 2027 during the SG11 meeting in Geneva. More details about CASC results are available in SG11-TD1118/GEN and its webpage at: https://itu.int/go/casc.

The aim of the workshop was to showcase ongoing ITU-T standardization activities as well as initiatives and projects of other parties in the development of AI monitoring and benchmarking frameworks that support users in assessing the effectiveness, robustness, and reliability of ML/AI systems they use. Also, it highlighted emerging AI based tools that can be used to support testing procedures and automate evaluation workflows.

Overall, the Workshop underlined the need for ITU to continue developing standards which are to ensure that AI systems and AI-enabled testing environments are reliable, interoperable, measurable and trustworthy throughout their lifecycle. Participants examined current gaps and potential opportunities for future standardisation efforts in evaluation methodologies and benchmarking approaches for AI, fostering advancement in this critical field.
