  1. Project: Approximation of EU – RF technical regulations, standardisation and certification systems, Russia Marking of products and certificates of conformity, tools for product circulation and mutual recognition A project funded by the European Union

  2. Markings and marks “what could be the future” Markings (Regulated area / Safety, Envir. ) Marks Non regulated area (Safety & ergon. & performance &…)

  3. Mutual recognition principles Meaning of mutual recognition in the regulated area RF EU Agreement on Conformity Assessment & Acceptance of Industrial Products

  4. Conditions for an ACAA Equivalent TR’s Equivalent Quality infrastructure Equivalent scopes of CAB’s Agreement on Conformity Assessment & Acceptance of Industrial Products Scope Conditions Concern: Recognised authorities Recognised results of assessment procedures, List of mutually accepted products. (annex ACAA) Agreement on designated CAB’s

  5. Certification and recognition in the non regulated area / recognition between « marks » CB SCHEME ROSTEST

  6. Conditions for mutual recognition in the non regulated area • Mutual business interest; (issue or receive recognisable test reports and certificates for granting the mark of certification) • Similar scope of activities; • Equivalent competencies (staff) and capacities (equipm.) for conformity assessment • Accreditations (ISO/IEC 17025, 17020, 17065…) • MR Agreement • Financial agreement (licence fees)

  7. Conformity Assessment Policy « depends of the interested parties and their influence » Certifiers/Assessors Goals: To exist & develop, Satisfy customers & stick to their needs Conditions: Sector related: -Rules -Standards -Doctrine -Harmonisation -Recognition Size of the Market? Profit and sustainability? Producers Retailers Distributors Goals: Respect the Regulation, Satisfy ToRs and specifications Reputation Added value Facilitation of trade Conditions: Recognition of Certificats, Attestations) for « reasonable costs National Market, Export? • Authorities • Goals:Product safety, • Consumers Protection,, Environment • Fair trade/transactions, • Development and • Competitivity… • Conditions: • Laws and Decrees • Ordinances • Structures of implementation • (Accred/ Evalu/ SdM • Means and Money?)

  8. Accreditation standards Accreditation Body ISO/IEC 17011 Inspection Certification ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratories ISO/IEC 15189 Testing Calibration Inspection ISO/IEC 17020 ISO/IEC 17021 Certification QMS/EMS... Certification of persons Certification products ISO/IEC 17024 ISO/IEC Guide 65

  9. EA MLA SignatoriesThese are the logos of the accreditation bodies. Accreditation marks used by accredited bodies can be found on the members' websites Poland since 2004 (logo PCA still missing here) DAR Logos of EA-MLA signatories

  10. Example: International Cooperation for Laboratories ILAC APLAC EA IAAC CAC-MAS-Q SADCA EA European Cooperation for Accreditation APLAC Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation ILAC International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation IAAC Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation SADCA Southern African Development Cooperation for Accreditation CAC-MAS-Q Central Asia Cooperation Unaffiliated Bodies Peer evaluated ABs who are not geographically located in one of the established regions Peer assessments

  11. National Accreditation Body can - become a member of international organisation in the absence of a regional organisation - has to go through a regional organisation if existing in order to be recognised on international level • For international or regional recognition; the national body has to sign Mutual Recognition “MRA” or Multi Lateral Agreements “MLA” and undergo “peer assessments”

  12. Conclusions Free circulation and mutual recognition is possible if we have • A consistent trade exchange in regulated and non regulated areas where markings and marks play a role to facilitate trade; • Equivalent legal frameworks and standards • Equivalent quality infrastructures • Equivalent scopes of activities, conformity assessment procedures and accreditations • Structures to manage the evolution of mutual agreements, that stick to market needs and to the « state of art »
