ACCREDIA is an institution designated by the Italian government to certify the competence and impartiality of calibration laboratories.
In order to obtain ACCREDIA accreditation, a laboratory must be able to guarantee the traceability of the measurements carried out through processes and internal documentation and for this reason, the same is periodically subjected to checks to verify the technical, managerial and metrological skills of the personnel, the principles of impartiality and confidentiality, transparency in communications, the traceability of the measurements, the pertinence of the calibration methods used, the evaluation of the uncertainties and the results obtained from the ILC experimental comparisons.
The Accredited Calibration Laboratories are recognized by the Italian Administration and public institutions, by the Company Quality System Certification institution (in compliance with the ISO 9000 standard) and are valid in the countries adhering to the Multilateral Agreements (MLA) of the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC).
