Certifications and Accreditations
The Eucentre Foundation provides services constantly monitoring its business processes. The effectiveness of the adopted procedures, their constant application, the improvement, the organization of internal resources, have enabled the Foundation to obtain the Quality Management System certification in compliance with the standard ISO 9001:2015. Eucentre successfully underwent an evaluation by the Certification Body “SQS – Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems”, exclusive partner for Switzerland of “IQNET” (International Network for Quality System Assessment and Certification), the largest and most reliable network of certification bodies at world level.
Signatory of EA, IAF and ILAC Mutual Recognition Agreements
UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation – “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”
On 26 September 2017 the Eucentre laboratory obtained the accreditation in accordance with the standard UNI CEI EN ISO / IEC 17025 by the Italian Accreditation Body, ACCREDIA, signatory of the international mutual recognition agreements EA MLA (European co-operation for Accreditation Multilateral Agreement).
The EA MLA agreements allow conformity assessments issued by organizations accredited by signatory entities to be recognized in all major world markets.
By virtue of this agreement, the test reports issued under ACCREDIA accreditation are recognized and accepted internationally.
Accreditation certifies the quality level of the analytical activity of a testing laboratory, verifying the compliance of its management system and its competences with internationally recognized regulatory requirements as well as the mandatory legislative requirements, but it is not a guarantee by ACCREDIA of the results of the individual services performed by the Laboratory.
