Certification Bodies (CBs) Approved by GLOBAL S.L.P.
Accreditations, Guarantees and Requirements
Certification bodies aiming to attain GLOBAL S.L.P. approval must hold accreditation relevant to their specific scope and sub-scope in accordance with ISO/IEC 17065.
For GLOBAL S.L.P. recognition an accreditation body must also be a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and a signatory of the Multilateral Agreement (MLA) on Product Certification. This signifies that the accreditation body (AB) has undergone a peer evaluation within the realm of product certification and has received a favorable recommendation in its assessment.
GLOBAL S.L.P. only establishes license and certification agreements (LCAs) with certification bodies that have successfully passed its rigorous internal approval process. These agreements, alongside accreditation, are designed to guarantee a consistently high standard of quality and organizational integrity.
