Differences between accreditation and certification • Certification • Means compliance with a standard or specification (e.g. system or product standards) . • Uses management system auditors who are certified by an independent body as meeting internationally agreed criteria. • May be general in the scope of recognition . • Considers the total business .
ACCRADITATION • Is the recognition of specified competence and its scope is normally highly specified . • Evaluates people skills and knowledge • Uses assessors who are recognized specialists in their fields. • Evaluates the supporting management systems for a specified activity . • Involves practical tests as appropriate ( proficiency testing and measurement audits)
Accreditation in General FOR • CERTIFICATION BODIES . • - Quality management system (QMS) • - Environmental management system (EMS) • - ECO-Management Audit Schemes • - Product • - Personnel
LABORATORIES. • - Testing laboratories • - Calibration laboratories • - Sampling laboratories • - Food • - Engineering products • INSPECTION BODIES • NOTIFIED BODIES - Assessment Under Various EU Directives
Access to traceable standards of measurement Accreditation For testing And/or calibration Documentary Standards Test Laboratory Credible test reports for the end user Framework for a credible testing system
Laboratory Accreditation A formal Recognition that a laboratory is Competent to Specified tests or Measurements Previous NEXT
Possible role of accreditation for anyeconomy • Governments use testing and calibration for • Enforcement of safety regulations. • Protection of the environment . • Enforcement of road traffic legislation . • Health services . • Control of commerce and trade . • Forensic investigation • Assessment of quality of goods and services purchased for their own use .
Industry and commerce have particular interests in • Quality assurance of goods and services. • Quality control of manufactured goods. • Advertising data . • Risk assessment and management. • Failure investigation . • Resolution of complaints and disputes .
3- Consumers have particular interests in the safety and performance of products 4-Recipient of the test report needs to have confidence that the data in it is reliable 5-Unreliable data is actually more dangerous that the absence of any data . 6-Laboratory accreditation is the tool to ensure the confidence of laboratory to perform specific test of calibration .
