Slovenian Accreditation may carry out pre-assessment in agreement with the client. Pre-assessment is not an obligatory part of accreditation. Its purpose is to find out whether the conditions for the performance of initial assessment have been fulfilled, and whether the scope of activity for accreditation has been stated appropriately. Pre-assessment is also intended for making a better estimate of the implementation possibilities and the time needed for initial assessment, which contributes to its more efficient implementation.
