Conformity assessment is associated with quality and it can be used to assess the quality if explicit requirements for product quality exist. The aim of the paper is to analyse and evaluate relationship between conformity assessment and quality management. Research is done by studying and evaluating each component of the quality management, meanwhile identifying the actions to be taken in each of them. After evaluating the elements of quality management, the activities carried out within its framework and comparing them with the product conformity assessment activities, it is proved that conformity assessment is closely related to quality management, ensuring that compliant and reliable products are placed on the market, delivered for use and used.
