    • Conformity Assessment activities:

    testing, calibration, certification, inspection

    • Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs):

    - laboratories (testing and calibration labs)- certification bodies for products, management systems (QMS, EMS), personnel

    - inspection bodies

    certification– first party certification: manufacturer (SDoC)– second party certification: customer (appointed supplier)– third party certification: independent body

    (independent from manufacturer and customer)

    Global and New Approach are associated with the creation of the European single market in 1992:

    • New Approach (Council resolution of 1985): Legislative and technical harmonization: limited to essential requirements - EC directives („Policy“of conformity assessment, CA => free trade, mutual recognition)

    • Global Approach (Council resolution of 1989 and further decisions 1990 and 1993): Modular concept and European standards for conformity assessement („principles+rules +tools “ for CA)

    New development in Europe• Discussion of the results of the New Approach

    • Looking for new ways to harmonise the work of notified bodies and equal basis for demonstration of their competence by using accreditation

    • Using of EA and its peer evaluation system (MLA)

    • Adoption of New Legislative Framework (“Goods package”; EU-Regulation on accreditation and market surveillance)

    (Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance

    relating to the marketing of products and repealing the Regulation (EEC) No 339/93)

  • SAA Implementation Training, Workshop 2, Quality Infrastructure System27 November 2008, Belgrade, J. Thiele

    51

    • The New Legal Framework, the modernisation of the New Approach for marketing of products was adopted finally in Council on 23rd June 2008.

    • This broad package of measures has the objective of removing the remaining obstacles to free circulation of products

  • SAA Implementation Training, Workshop 2, Quality Infrastructure System27 November 2008, Belgrade, J. Thiele

    52

    The New European Legislative framework covers• Accreditation and Market surveillance• Notified Bodies• Role and significance of CE marking• Common definitions & obligations/procedures• Objective of the New European Legislative

    framework is to strengthen the system by reviewingthe main features and

    • the addition of missing elements such as accreditation

  • SAA Implementation Training, Workshop 2, Quality Infrastructure System27 November 2008, Belgrade, J. Thiele

    53

    Main principles for Accreditation- Regulation applies both to the mandatory and voluntary areas

    - Accreditation as public authority activity performed in general interest, free from commercial competition

    - Last level of control providing confidence in the conformity assessmentsystem

    - One single national governmentally recognised accreditation body per EU member state from 1 January 2010 : non-profit, not compete with the bodies they accredit, not compete with other accreditation bodies (national or cross national boundaries)

    - Cross border accreditation only in certain cases

    - Peer-evaluation system

    Summary-Quality infrastructure (QI) is important for free trade andcontributes to reduce technical barriers to trade

    -Each element of QI is essential for the entire system-Accreditation is an important tool to enhance confidence in

    conformity assessment results and contributes to theirmutual recognition

    -Accreditation according new regulation is basis to assess thecompetence of CAB‘s, the precondition for notification and

    mutual recognition in the EU-Peer evaluation ensures equal procedures and competence of authorised national accreditation bodies

    German accreditation and conformity assessment system- Great variety due to historical reasons- 2 main areas: voluntary and mandatory (with some overlap)- Long time experience- International recognised- Use of international standards and EC Directives- Potential for increasing the efficiency- Challenge for the system to establish the one national accreditation

    body according the new EC regulation and based on national accreditation law
