Who provides accreditation services?
The accreditation system/accreditation body is at the apex of the national quality infrastructure (QI), comprising other institutions/services responsible for standardization, metrology, conformity assessment.
The status of and linkages among the QI institutions are defined in the national quality policy (NQP) that every economy should define and consolidate.
Accreditation services are provided by a national accreditation body (NAB), if it exists. Otherwise, access to these services are sourced from overseas in accordance with the policy defined in the NQP.
