§6.5.3 Presumption of conformity for national accreditation bodies

If a national accreditation body can demonstrate as a result of the peer evaluation process that it meets the requirements of the relevant harmonised standard (273), it is presumed to meet the requirements for national accreditation bodies that are outlined in Article 8 of the Regulation. More importantly - and this is of specific importance for the regulatory sphere – if a national accreditation body has successfully undergone peer evaluation for a specific conformity assessment activity, national authorities are obliged to accept the accreditation certificates issued by this body, as well as any attestations (e.g. test or inspection reports, certificates) issued by conformity assessment bodies accredited by this accreditation body.
