Cost Structure for Accreditation

Covering Costs Without Profit

Euroac charges fees and expenses for its accreditation and surveillance activities. These fees are designed to cover all personnel and material costs required to provide its services, without generating profit.

Factors Influencing Fees

The fees for an accreditation procedure depend on several factors, including:

• Complexity of the accreditation process: More intricate assessments may require additional resources.
• Scope of accreditation: A broader scope involves a more comprehensive review.
• Size of the applicant organization: Larger organizations may require more extensive evaluations.
• Involvement of additional parties: If multiple assessors, divisions, or external authorities are required, extra fees may apply.

Fees are calculated based on Euroac’s official regulation for the costs of accreditation activities, ensuring fairness and transparency.

Public Authority and Non-Public Authority Activities

Public Authority Activities

Euroac’s fees for public authority activities are aligned with the accreditation standards and regulations under applicable laws and guidelines, such as the Accreditation Body Act and Regulation (EC) No. 765/2008.
