[ 18-01-2010 ]
The text of document TR-09 “Provisions for the accreditation of bodies operating the certification of eco-management systems (EMS)” is now available.



The document, due to be approved by the ACCREDIA Board of Directors, is published for consultation in the section of the website "Documents - Technical Regulations of the Department of Certification and Inspection Bodies".
 
The date of its coming into force will be duly communicated.
 
The Regulation, published in revision 00 as an ACCREDIA document, includes the experiences of SINCERT with the application of previous editions.
 
Following the formal agreement reached between ACCREDIA and UNI, the former SINCERT technical regulation was fully reviewed by the competent UNI working group which produced the Technical Report UNI TR 11311, gathering together all the elements directly pertaining to the application of standard UNI EN ISO 14001.
 
The ACCREDIA document contains a series of specifications compared with the reference standard of the accredited bodies UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC, with a view to harmonising the tasks of the auditors and of the accredited bodies, referring also to the applicable EA/IAF Guidelines.
 
In order not to modify the provisions of the accreditation body, the contents of Technical Regulation RT-09 must be respected by the accredited bodies, together with the contents of the Technical Report UNI TR 11311.
