Updated accreditation in the field of proficiency testing Change of logos to the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS GmbH)

In all technical areas, there is a constant change in standardisation; this ongoing process does also affect the work of the IfEP GmbH in the field of Proficiency Testing (PT). For many years, we have offered these proficiency tests under the requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17020 as an inspection body. Last year, the EN ISO/IEC 17043 standard was published. This standard defines specific requirements for the technical work and the quality management system of a PT provider. To guarantee that our customers get the highest possible quality, the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS GmbH) evaluated IfEP against the requirements of the EN ISO/IEC 17043. We got the permission to use the new accreditation logo for this part of our work. It is recognition of our competence that we plan and execute our PTs on the base of this new standard. With this recognition, you can be sure that you are getting a service that complies with the highest international requirements. If you need a copy of our accreditation certificate for your quality management system (this is usually a requirement of EN ISO/IEC 17025, chapter 4.7), you can click on the logo and download the document as a pdf – file. For further information, do not hesitate to contact us.

The logo for our accreditation in the field of certified reference material changed to the DAkkS logo. The base for this prove of competence has not changed and is still the EN ISO/IEC 17025 in connection with ISO Guides 31, 34 und 35.
