welder

During the accreditation of certification bodies certifying persons SNAS assesses and confirms competence of the body to perform certification of persons according to the requirements defined in certification schemes. The certification itself consists in verifying the conformity of the professional competence of the persons with the specified requirements.

During the accreditation of certification bodies certifying persons SNAS assesses the fulfilment of the requirements of ISO/IEC 17024 Standard. Certification bodies seeking confirmation of competence to perform certification of persons must meet the requirements of the requirements of ISO/IEC 17024 as set out in further relevant standards, relevant mandatory IAF, EA documents, or generally established documents of international organizations as well as in policies and methodological guidelines for accreditation issued by SNAS. SNAS grants accreditation only for the scope for which the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the requirements set out for accreditation. The scope of accreditation takes into account international standards and regulations applicable to person certification. SNAS does not grant accreditation for a flexible scope in this area of accreditation.

SNAS requires the person certification body to have specified in the accreditation scope in addition to the certification field, type/category of activity, standards and regulation to which the conformity of persons is assessed, also certification schemes and certification procedures. For the accreditation of bodies certifying persons in regulated field SNAS requires that the certification schemes applied for the certification of persons consistently meet the requirements of the relevant Directive EC or the relevant regulation requirements.
