- Abstract:
- Laboratories are the larger group of stakeholders of ILAC, the international organization for accreditation. The impact of laboratory activities as independent entities that ensure safety and quality of products and services is growing and becoming a key issue in many fields. New challenges of globalization and international trade, technology developments and increasing expectations of citizens and consumers requires a robust implementation of accreditation to promote the fair competition and the sustainability of laboratories. For this purpose, harmonization and consistency of accreditation is a major task to be achieved through cooperation of all stakeholders.
