[ 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.
