Accreditation is official recognition and attestation by an “accreditation body” of the competencies of CABs in precisely specified (technical) areas.

Certification is written assurance by a third party that a product, process or service conforms to specified requirements.

This information is available on the List of accredited CABs, where you can obtain different types of hits by using different filters.

You can obtain this information using the search engine, which is located on the entry page and at the top right (magnifying glass). Enter the sector (e.g. pressure) in the search engine and select Accredited bodies. The search engine will then find all the CABs containing the word sought in their scope of accreditation (e.g. pressure).

Slovenian Accreditation may make a decision to suspend accreditation (i.e., for maximum 6 months), or a decision to withdraw accreditation (permanent withdrawal of accreditation) of the complete scope or part thereof. Read more on this here.
