Some basic information about accreditation and its process.

Accreditation means the official recognition of the fact that an organisation or a laboratory complies with a given standard or specific requirements and has the required competence. Accreditation is normally granted or validated by an independent third party. It is used to prove that the services or products of a given entity comply with a given quality standard or competence level. Accreditation is important for safety, quality control and customers’ trust.
