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.

A Look at ISO/IEC 17025:2017: Requirements Concerning Impartiality and Confidentiality
Impartiality can be defined as “the presence of objectivity”. Confidentiality can be defined as “the state of keeping or being kept secret or private.
The first two sections of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 take into the expanded requirements for both impartiality and confidentiality. This webinar will look at these requirements and will clarify what they are, and how an organization can comply with meeting these requirements within their ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliant quality management system.
