Accreditation

Accreditation is the quality infrastructure created to support the reliability and validity of the studies carried out by the conformity assessment bodies and thus the conformity approval certificates (such as test and inspection analysis test reports, calibration documents, management system certificates, product certificates, personnel documents) issued as a result of these studies.

The accreditations of conformity assessment bodies are established by targeting the needs and obligations that are accepted all over the world, which are determined by the international standards that characterize the qualification criteria for the relevant conformity assessment bodies, the requirements specific to the relevant sector and the guide documents prepared by the regional or international accreditation companies.

The concept of accreditation gives confidence that products or services with a certificate of conformity issued by conformity assessment bodies meet the applicable requirements for these products or services. Thanks to this fluid structure, accreditation affects the elimination of technical barriers in commercial sectors. Accreditation raises questions about the reputation of the accreditation services itself during the global acceptance of the services.
