1. What is accreditation and the 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.

The accreditation of conformity assessment bodies shall be based on international standards setting out the qualification criteria for relevant conformity assessment bodies, relevant sectoral requirements and globally accepted requirements set out 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 instills confidence that it meets the requirements applicable to that product or service. Through systematic accreditation, it contributes to the elimination of technical barriers to trade.

2. Why work with an accredited body?

Accredited organizations provide their services according to a quality infrastructure based on relevant industry norms and standards. Tests, studies and examinations are not subjective, but objective and reproducible. Accredited organizations present their work to the accrediting institutions during periodic audits. The accreditation of inspection bodies that present non-conformities in their work is cancelled.

Inspection services performed on 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 uncertainty budget, the interim checks, the competence of the inspection personnel who will perform the service, are part of the accreditation. Accredited organizations provide repeatable and accurate measurement services.

3. Can each accredited organization provide solar energy services?
