Use of Accreditation Symbols and References to Accreditation

Accreditation provides formal recognition that a conformity assessment body (CAB) is capable of meeting certain standards. Once accredited, a CAB may wish to make reference to its accreditation status in its reports or certificates. Accreditation normally entitles the accredited CAB to endorse the relevant documents in the name of the accreditation body, by using an accreditation symbol and/or by using appropriate words, in accordance with prescribed procedures and rules. This webinar will look at proper use of accreditation symbols and reference to this accreditation. Individual accreditation bodies like PJLA are required as per. ISO/IEC 17011:2017, to have a policy governing the use of its accreditation symbols and claims of accreditation status by its accredited organizations.
