Accreditation

Accreditation is the official recognition by a national accreditation body. The accreditation body certifies that a certain conformity assessment body (testing, inspection, certification and validation body) meets the applicable requirements with regard to qualification and equipment. Accreditation confirms that the relevant body has the competence to carry out certain activities.
