IOAS is pleased to re-open its accreditation for CBs working in Third Countries in support of EU Recognition following the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2018/848 on January 1, 2022.
This scheme requires accreditation against ISO/IEC 17065 and compliance with Regulation 2018/848 and its various secondary legislation. New applications from CBs can now be accepted.
