Who Can be accredited ?

Who all can be accredited?

Global Accreditation Assessment forum Series(GAAFS) accreditation activities Global Accreditation Assessment forum Series(GAAFS) provides accreditations to conformity assessment bodies (CAB).

These bodies consist of laboratories, certification and inspection bodies, providers of proficiency tests and reference material producers. A CAB may be accredited by Global Accreditation Assessment forum Series (GAAFS) if it meets the requirements of the corresponding international standards.

Accredited once, Accepted everywhere

The international harmonisation of these standards warrants that the accreditations are carried out on a global basis according to the same criteria. As a result of these harmonised standards, and thanks to international agreements, the assessment services of bodies accredited in UK & US and also accepted in many European and non-European countries.

This ability to overcome technical barriers to trade facilitates cross-border trade and warrants the acceptance of conformity assessments results at an international level without requiring further inspections.
