Digital Transformation of Technical Import Traceability Verification (VPTI): ISO/IEC 17020:2012 Conformity Analysis in the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and Inspection Automation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background. Technical Import Tracking Verification (VPTI) is a verification activity whose implementation must follow the government's mandate and provisions, as well as the relevant inspection agency's scope of assignment. Digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and automation can help with document tracking, data collection, and consistency in the inspection process. Objectives. This study aims to map the relevant requirements of ISO/IEC 17020:2012 to the use of AI, IoT, and automation in VPTI and to formulate a risk-based implementation strategy. This article treats the term "impact" as a potential risk of nonconformity that needs to be tested, rather than as an explicit prohibition in the standard.
Methods. The research uses document analysis of ISO/IEC 17020:2012 and supporting literature/guidelines, technology mapping of relevant clauses, and the preparation of a qualitative risk matrix. Because the manuscript does not present a literature search protocol, case study selection criteria, or evidence of direct consultation with KAN, the results are interpreted as an initial conceptual analysis, not an empirical verification or KAN's official position.
Results. The mapping shows that the main concerns lie in impartiality and confidentiality (Clause 4), personnel competence (6.1), facilities and equipment (6.2), inspection methods/procedures (7.1), inspection records (7.3), inspection reports (7.4), complaint and appeal handling (7.5), and management systems including management reviews (Clause 8).
Conclusion. Proposed a four-stage roadmap for administrative digitalization, IoT device integration, the use of AI as a validated tool, and formal evaluation with accreditation parties if necessary. The stages and time range are the author's proposal, not the requirements or schedules set by ISO/IEC 17020:2012 or KAN.
