Developed by AFNOR, the NF X 50-110 standard represents a considerable step forward towards the convergence of expert practices (amicable, private, judicial, etc.). However, the standard remains a recommendation but does not have the force of law. Compatible with the recommendations relating to quality management (ISO 9000), it establishes the principles of quality expertise, namely:
- evaluate the question asked,
- select one or more experts with the appropriate skills,
- choose or develop an expert method appropriate to the question asked,
- carry out actions (studies, interviews, etc.) specific to the expertise requested,
- critically analyze the data provided and the actions carried out,
- provide the client with the product of the expertise,
- manage contingencies, incidents and changes.
