Accreditation as a Guardian of Quality. Accreditation determines the technical competence, integrity, and impartiality of organizations that provide conformity assessment services, such as testing, calibration, certification, and inspection.
Supported by internationally agreed standards, accreditation adds value to businesses striving to maximize their worth and meet contractual requirements, while maintaining confidence that products, services, and processes meet technical specifications and are safe for use.
A large portion of production, trade, and services involves elements of testing, calibration, inspection, and certification activities—collectively known as conformity assessment.
Accreditation is an independent evaluation of these conformity assessment bodies against globally recognized standards to ensure their impartiality, competence, and consistency.
Therefore, accreditation plays an exceptionally important role in reducing the costs of production, trade, and business operations, improving technology transfer, and increasing investments.
Over the past year, the Macedonian Institute for Accreditation has successfully overcome all challenges, including reduced staff capacity, soaring inflation, relocation to temporary premises, and more…
Accreditation enables businesses to integrate into global trends, allowing them to demonstrate product quality through a shared “technical language” essential for building trust between business partners.
A report by the Economic Research and Statistics Division of the World Trade Organization states that improper application of conformity assessment represents a significant portion of specific trade concerns.
Accreditation provides a solution to these problems.
As the national body in the accreditation process of the Macedonian economy and an equal member of the large European and global family, the Macedonian Institute for Accreditation joins other national accreditation bodies around the globe in celebrating this year’s World Accreditation Day under the motto:
Accreditation: Empowering Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
As an integral part of the European Accreditation family, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, and the International Accreditation Forum, the Macedonian national accreditation body embraces this message, recognizing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as key drivers of progress in the Macedonian economy.
SMEs, as engines of progress, innovators, and creators of new jobs, are the backbone of the Macedonian economy.
The Macedonian Institute for Accreditation, as a vital and irreplaceable part of the national quality infrastructure, is developing a significant quality management system.
