Scope of accreditation

Euro Accreditation is currently given in the following fields and disciplines. The multi-disciplinary CABs shall have to apply in relevant discipline separately depending upon to which discipline the scope belongs. For more details on scope of accreditation please refer the relevant specific criteria. As a rule, scopes of accreditation are fixed scopes described in detail. An accredited body may also have a flexible scope, where the scope is presented at a more general level. Predominantly, the flexible scope has been developed to meet the needs of bodies that work in research and/or development, for situations where the properties of an object to be tested, calibrated, inspected or certified cannot always be predicted in advance. A fixed scope might also contain flexibility.

The scope of accreditation shows the activities for which the body in question has requested accreditation and in which the body has been deemed to be competent, following an assessment. The scope of accreditation defines which services can be offered as accredited. It also includes the fields of accreditation as well as the testing methods, types of inspections and certification categories in which the body is found competent.

Flexible scope requires

• Systematic activities • Applicable personnel and other resources • Appropriate procedures for identifying risk factors in activities • Efficient and transparent validation procedures for daily working • Competence to modify activities in response to clients’ needs • Comprehensive and appropriate quality assurance procedures • Traceable, comprehensive and clear documentation of activities, and good management of documents • Active monitoring of clients’ needs/feedback and cooperation with clients.
