Re: scope of accreditation nata
The National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) was established in 1947 in response to a call for the formation of a national testing services body to ensure the munitions which the government was manufacturing during the Second World War met a sufficiently high standard. Scope : NATA provides accreditation services to inspection bodies and producers of certified reference materials. It offers both "traditional" testing programs and "specialised" programs in areas such as medical and veterinary testing, forensic science, medical imaging, reference material production and proficiency testing. NATA monitors members' compliance with the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). NATA formally recognises whether facilities produce reliable technical results. Accreditation procedure The following information is provided to assist facilities who seek or hold accreditation or wish to extend the scope of their accreditation. General information is also provided with regard to NATA‘s policies and procedures. It should be noted that there are some differences between the fields/programs with regard to the order in which these steps are followed and may be due to limitations that have been placed on the NATA process by outside influences, such as regulatory or industry-specific requirements. Where an organisation may require accreditation in a number of different fields and/or programs, every attempt is made to harmonise and coordinate accreditation activities. Corporate accreditation is available in defined circumstances to assist this process. A Policy Circular is available and can be obtained from our offices or the NATA website. There may also be a need to vary the steps detailed below in the case of applications from overseas facilities . Once again, every attempt is made to ensure the accreditation process is carried out in the most efficient and effective way for all parties concerned For more Details you may Consider the Below Attachement that is Free to Download Accreditation of the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia |
