Small Business Standards (SBS), the SME representing the voice of Small and Medium Enterprises in European and international standardisation, is sponsoring this service.

Some SMEs and MicroSMEs perform conformity assessment activities, for themselves or as subcontracted third party bodies:
- Medical laboratories;
- Laboratory and testing houses;
- Inspection bodies;
- Certification bodies.

Normally, standards covering conformity assessment bodies are International standards from ISO CASCO and often such standards are adopted in Europe as European standards through the Joint CEN and CENELEC Technical Committee CEN/CLC JTC 1.
