Conformity assessment bodies that can demonstrate competence for a defined scope. That includes testing and calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, and certification bodies.
What EUROAC does not accredit
- A person. People are certified or qualified, and not by an accreditation body.
- A product or a management system. Those are certified by a conformity assessment body, which may itself be accredited.
- An organisation in the abstract. An application with no standard and no scope cannot be assessed, so it cannot be granted.
Before applying
Decide the standard and the scope first. They determine what the assessment examines and what the register publishes. How to become accredited sets out the steps.
