Areas of accreditation
The technical fields in which we perform accreditation are very diverse and comprise all the key activities encountered both in everyday life and in very specific environments.
SA has established and maintains an accreditation system for the following types of CABs:
- calibration laboratories
- testing laboratories
- inspection bodies
- certification bodies for products
- certification bodies for management systems
- certification bodies for persons
- EMAS verifiers
- GHG verifiers
We are endeavouring to extend accreditation to areas in which the verification and attestation of competence have not yet been established, although needs have been expressed. One of the key conditions for that is access to the relevant knowledge, which SA assures through cooperation with various professional circles, from which highly competent experts and assessors derive.
The fields of activities of accredited CABs are defined in the document D05-11, Classification of accredited bodies’ activities. Currently, Slovenian Accreditation is not conducting accreditation in some of the areas; in the document, these are marked by an asterisk »*«.
