Accreditation and notification
Accreditation by the national accreditation body is formal confirmation that we comply with the requirements on qualifications and equipment that apply to us as a testing, inspection and certification body in our field.
Notification is a completely separate field. It is granted on the basis of European regulations and gives us the go-ahead to carry out tests at international level. Notification as a verification of expertise under European laws facilitates mutual legal recognition and cooperation based on trust between all notified bodies.
