1. What is accreditation and accredited organization?

Accreditation is a quality infrastructure established to support the reliability and validity of the studies carried out by conformity assessment bodies and, consequently, of the documents confirming conformity (test and inspection reports, calibration certificates, management system certificates, product certification certificates, personnel certification certificates, etc.) issued as a result of these studies.

Accreditation of conformity assessment bodies shall be based on international standards setting out the qualification criteria for the relevant conformity assessment bodies, sector specific requirements and globally accepted requirements as defined in guidance documents developed by regional or international accreditation bodies.

A product or service with a certificate of conformity issued by an accredited conformity assessment body inspires confidence in the fulfilment of the requirements applicable to that product or service. Through systematic accreditation, it contributes to the removal of technical barriers to trade.

2. Why work with an accredited organization?

Accredited organizations deliver their services according to a quality infrastructure based on relevant industry standards and norms. Tests, studies and examinations are not subjective but objective and reproducible. Accredited organizations demonstrate their work to the institutions for which they are accredited during periodic audits. Accreditation of inspection organizations with non-conformities in their work will be withdrawn.

Inspection services performed in solar energy installations are studies involving precise measurements and experiments. The procedures that determine the quality of the measurements, such as the calibration of the equipment used in these studies, the creation of an uncertainty budget, interim checks and the competence of the inspection personnel who will perform the service, are part of the accreditation. Accredited organizations provide repeatable and accurate measurement services.
