Accreditation in support
of standardisation
Accreditation provides formal independent recognition
that an organisation is competent to apply standards to
perform specific processes, activities or tasks, in a
reliable, credible and accurate manner.
UKAS is the appointed national accreditation body in
the UK, responsible for determining, in the public
interest, the technical competence and integrity of
organisations such as those offering testing, calibration
and certification services.
Accreditation delivers confidence in certificates and
conformity statements. It underpins the quality of
results by ensuring their traceability, comparability,
validity and commutability.
Conclusion
Standards are knowledge. They are powerful tools that
can help drive innovation and increase productivity.
They can make organisations more successful and
people's everyday lives easier, safer and healthier.
