1. What is accreditation and the accredited organization?
Accreditation is a quality infrastructure established to uphold the reliability and validity of studies conducted by conformity assessment bodies and, consequently, of documents confirming conformity (test and inspection reports, calibration certificates, management system certificates, product certification certificates, personnel certification certificates, etc.), and to ensure that the accreditation process is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the accreditation system.
Accreditation of conformity assessment bodies will be based on international standards defining 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 provides assurance 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 accreditation institutions during periodic audits. Accreditation of testing organizations that show nonconformities in their work is canceled.
Inspection services performed on solar energy installations are studies involving precise measurements and experiments. Procedures that determine the quality of measurements, such as the calibration of equipment used in these surveys, the uncertainty budget, intermediate 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.
3. Can any accredited organization provide solar energy services?
Accredited organizations have accreditation scopes that specify their competencies. Services provided outside the scope are not accredited. Solarian’s scope of accreditation, specializing in solar energy investments, is available here.
