What benefits does accreditation offer?
Accreditation helps CABs deliver services with confidence, as confidence is essential everywhere. Accreditation demonstrates a CAB’s competence to succeed and accomplish activities defined by its specific program scope of accreditation. CABs are able to obtain independent, third-party, credible outputs for themselves and for their customers.
Accreditations offer many benefits:
For companies:
- Better acceptance of products and services eases market access or makes it possible.
- Tested once, accepted everywhere: International comparability and recognition of certificates, inspections, tests or calibrations prevents costs resulting from multiple assessments.
- Proof of competence facilitates the selection of a suitable service provider for the conformity assessment of goods and services.
For accredited bodies:
- Objective proof of quality and competence for the activities of conformity assessment bodies according to international standards.
- Competitive advantages over non-accredited market participants
For consumers:
- more consumer trust in the quality of products and services – notwithstanding a complex global mark.
- fewer production errors or recalls
For legislators:
- flexible alternative to legislation
