§6.5.4 EA’s role in supporting and harmonising accreditation practice across Europe

COMMISSION NOTICE The ‘Blue Guide’ on the implementation of EU product rules 2022 · European Union

Following on from EA’s role as the organisation that is in charge of the peer evaluation of national accreditation bodies there is a need to arrive at a coherent and equivalent approach to accreditation which then warrants the mutual recognition and acceptance of conformity assessment attestations. This means that EA has to facilitate a common approach to accreditation practice and towards the harmonised standards and the requirements that may be contained in any sector schemes. Therefore, with the involvement of all parties concerned such as stakeholders and national authorities, EA has to develop transparent guidance that its members have to respect when conducting accreditation.
