Accreditation ensures that certification, inspection and verification bodies, and testing and calibration laboratories, have all the requirements required by the standards to carry out conformity assessment activities.

Accreditation is the attestation, by a body that acts as a super partes guarantor, of the competence and impartiality of the certification, inspection, verification and validation bodies, and of the testing and calibration laboratories.

In Italy the single accreditation body designated by the government is ACCREDIA.
