Both at national and international level, purchasers require guarantees about the quality of goods and services supplied to them, since the variety on offer is nowadays huge. Accordingly, a supplier can have its product or service objectively assessed or tested by a laboratory, certification or inspection body. This can be done throughout any field of work imaginable, including construction, energy, environment, drinking water, health and transport, to name a few.

Supervision of the Conformity Assessment Body

An accreditation body assesses both the management system and the technical competency of the conformity-certifying body. In addition the accreditation body exercises supervision to guarantee the impartiality and expertise of the conformity-certifying body.
