What Does Accreditation Offer You?
In a globalized world, accreditation has evolved from a voluntary practice to almost a necessity for conformity assessment organizations. At Sertifike, we provide accreditation consultancy services for organizations that offer testing, inspection, and various certification services under the following standards:
- EN ISO/IEC 17020 – Inspection
- EN ISO/IEC 17021-1 – Quality System Certification
- EN ISO/IEC 17024 – Personnel Certification
- EN ISO/IEC 17025 – Testing Laboratories
- EN ISO/IEC 17065 – Product Certification
- EN ISO/IEC 17029 – Conformity Assessment and Verification
Accredited organizations ensure that their issued certificates or reports are recognized worldwide under Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA and MLA) signed among the European Accreditation (EA), the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). Accreditation, by establishing a common framework in terms of technical requirements, plays a significant role in facilitating international trade. Moreover, accredited organizations, through coordination among themselves, enhance their technical competencies and improve the quality of their services. You can also receive turnkey services from Sertifike to accredit your services.
Why Should You Get Accredited?
Laws and regulations requiring accreditation for testing, inspection, and certification services are quite common. One well-known example is the European Commission, which has made accreditation mandatory for Conformity Assessment Bodies wishing to perform certification activities for CE marking by establishing technical regulations for products. Accreditation under EN ISO/IEC 17065 for product certification bodies, EN ISO/IEC 17020 for inspection bodies, and EN ISO/IEC 17025 for testing laboratories is mandated not only by the European Union but also by various countries participating in international trade through different regulations. Accreditation embeds an organization in the international traceability chain by enhancing its competence and service quality. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the organization’s activities.
