Accreditation
Accreditation is the formal recognition by an authorized body.
- that a testing laboratory is competent to perform certain tests or
- that a certification or inspection body is authorized to certify certain products, services etc.
This means that laboratories, certification and inspection bodies are assessed and audited at regular intervals by a third party as to their technical competence against published technical criteria.
To make international recognition of certificates possible, testing and certification institutions must be qualified to an equal standard and operate according to comparable principles. These requirements are compiled in the ISO/IEC 17000 and EN 45000 series of standards. They set criteria for the evaluation of bodies that carry out certification of products, quality systems, services and personnel, and of testing laboratories. These standards can be applied in both the regulated and the non-regulated sector.
National accreditation bodies are responsible for establishing, formally recognizing, officially notifying and carrying out surveillance of the qualifications of testing and certification bodies.
