Testing laboratory accredited by Accredia

What is Accredia?

Accredia is the authority designated by the Italian government to certify the competence, independence and impartiality of the companies and laboratories that verify the compliance of products and services with the regulations. Each European country has its own single accreditation authority, which operates in line with the EC Regulation 765/2008 and the international standard ISO / IEC 17011. Accreditation by Accredia certifies competence, independence and impartiality of the certification, inspection and verification bodies, and of the testing and calibration laboratories, ensuring their suitability to assess the conformity of products and services with the requirements established by voluntary and mandatory standards.

Why Accredia is important?

Accreditation ensures that the certification, inspection and verification bodies, and the testing and calibration laboratories, follow all the requirements required by the standards to carry out conformity assessment activities. Accreditation is the attestation of the competence, independence and impartiality of the certification, inspection and verification authorities, and of the testing and calibration laboratories, by a neutral jurisdiction.
