What an accreditation means?

Accreditation is the procedure by which an authoritative body gives formal recognition that a laboratory is competent to carry out specific tasks. Accreditation allows people to make an informed decision when selecting a laboratory, as it demonstrates competence, impartiality and capability. It helps to underpin the credibility and performance of goods and services.

Accreditation bodies around the world, which have been evaluated by peers as competent, have signed an arrangement that enhances the acceptance of products and services across national borders. The purpose of this arrangement, the ILAC Arrangement, is to create an international framework to support international trade through the removal of technical barriers.

The Czech Accreditation Institute (CAI), National Accreditation Body, provides unambiguous, objective and independent assessment of competence (accreditation).
There is a uniform European accreditation system. The principle of a uniform European accreditation system, formed by national accreditation bodies working in conformity with uniform rules and performing accreditation according to defined internationally recognized standards, is based on the EC position as defined in the Global Conception of Testing and Certification. Certification. Obligatory accreditation standard for testing laboratories like Genomia is ISO 17025.

International accreditation system is formed of:

• EA - European co-operation for Accreditation, www.european-accreditation.org (European level)
  
• ILAC - International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, www.ilac.org (world level)
  
• IAF - International Accreditation Forum, www.iaf.org (world level)
  
• FAB - Forum of Accreditation Bodies
  

This international accreditation system guarantees professional level of work and approach of CAI.

Accreditation awarded by Czech Accreditation Institute is valid and respected in all states that have joined the ILAC Arrangement, for example whole EU, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, China, USA, Brazil, South Africa and others.
