Assessor competence
Organizations performing certification, testing or inspection are the subject of assessment.
STATIC Accreditation
Assessment of the competence of testing and certification organizations.
INSIDE STATIC ACCREDITATION
Purpose, systems, and connections.
Accreditation addresses the trustworthiness of the assessor itself. It remains separate from the assessment of a particular product, system or person.
Defined scope
Competence is considered within the relevant assessment discipline.
Trust hierarchy
Accreditation connects to standards, testing and certification without replacing them.
How it connects
Accrediting an assessor does not itself certify every product that assessor encounters.
