Accreditation

Accreditation is third-party certification, which is the official confirmation that an organization is competent to carry out specific conformity assessment tasks. Accreditation contributes to increasing the competitiveness of products and services in the context of globalization of markets. Accreditation is the official validation or recognition of an assessment body's proficiency, ethics, trustworthiness and independence to take on certification assessment activities. For certificates to be reputable and accepted worldwide, accreditation of third party certification bodies (although not always mandatory) is the strong preference of many suppliers.

Accreditation and Membership 

Accreditation is the independent evaluation of conformity assessment bodies against recognised standards to ensure their impartiality and competence. Through the application of national and international standards, government, procurers and consumers can have confidence in the calibration and test results, inspection reports and certifications provided.Accreditation bodies are established in many countries with the primary purpose of ensuring that conformity assessment bodies are subject to oversight by an authoritative body. Accreditation bodies, which have been evaluated by peers as competent, sign arrangements that enhance the acceptance of products and services across national borders, thereby creating a framework to support international trade through the removal of technical barriers.

Accreditation WHY?

The economic structures are subject to a dynamic evolution forced by the trade internationalisation. Moreover, products and services must meet regulated requirements which aim at guaranteeing their use in full safety. It is essential to gain the confidence in the conformity of products and services both of the economic actors and of the authorities in charge of the market control. The conformity is attested on documents joined to the products and are issued by conformity assessment bodies (laboratories, inspection and certification bodies). A product or service accompanied by a report issued by an accredited body inspires increased confidence as to conformity with the laid down specifications, which facilitates market access. It is obvious that accreditation is an instrument favouring free circulation of products and services. It contributes to eliminate technical barriers, to allow fair competition and to achieve harmonization in trade agreements.
