Update of reference to accreditation standards Suppression of the possibility of accreditation according to ISO/IEC for activities that can be covered by EN ISO Update of reference to accreditation standards Subcontracting by laboratories: specific provisions Conformity assessment activities within the framework of product certification Scope of the revision New points and Point 3.2 New point 4.11 Chapter 4 Point Chapter 4 Points and Point 4.2.1, 4.6 and 4.9 BELAC 1-03 Rev /11

4 BELAC ACTIVITIES: DESCRIPTION AND SELECTION CRITERIA 1. AIM OF THE DOCUMENT AND REFERENCES TO STANDARDS This document aims to provide a general description of the scope of activities of BELAC and of the criteria to be complied with for the selection of an activity under the BELAC scope. This document refers to and complies with the relevant sections of the EC Regulation 765/2008, the standard NBN EN ISO/IEC and the relevant EA / IAF / ILAC guidelines and complementary requirements. A list (document BELAC 6-017) identifies, for each type of conformity assessment activity, the main technical fields in which BELAC is currently active. The list complements the present document and is regularly updated; it has a strictly informative character and does not presume of the ability of BELAC to extend its activities to other domains. 2. RECIPIENTS. With follow-up of modifications: the members of the Co-ordination Commission the members of the Accreditation Board the BELAC secretariat the assessors the accredited bodies Without follow-up of modifications: Any external request BELAC 1-03 Rev /11

5 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS 3.1. The scope of BELAC and its limits As the sole national accreditation body, BELAC is entitled - to grant accreditation according to requirements that are fixed in normative documents, published by Ministerial Decree and listed in document BELAC 0-06, i.e. for all types of conformity assessment bodies mentioned under point 4; - to cover all potential fields of activity of conformity assessment bodies, in both the regulated and non-regulated sectors Extension of the scope The extension of the BELAC scope of activities to a new accreditation field (i.e. an accreditation standard not yet recognised by BELAC) will only be decided subject to - a positive advice of the National Council of Accreditation; the interest expressed by the concerned sector, the expectations of the stakeholders, the position of the regulatory authorities when relevant and the situation at the international level will be considered; - endorsement by the Minister of Economy. In case of extension of the scope of activities of BELAC to significantly new types of conformity assessment activities (including related new conformity assessment schemes) within an already active accreditation field, the endorsement by the Coordination Commission is solely required. In both cases, a documented review of feasibility is performed by the BELAC permanent secretariat; the specific aspects described under point 4 are taken into consideration. In case of extension of the BELAC scope, the implementation includes all or part of the following elements, depending on the specific situation: - the identification and training, when relevant, of assessors and experts with the necessary technical competence ; - the development of specific guidance documents in order to allow for a consistent implementation of the accreditation requirements and for a standardised lay-out of the accreditation documents ; - the setting up of a specific sector committee or task force; - the information of the concerned parties. In case the feasibility review leads to the identification of specific accreditation requirements (either applicable to the conformity assessment body or to BELAC itself), these requirements are documented and made publicly available under the form of a document of the BELAC series (BELAC NAME ACTIVITY). BELAC 1-03 Rev /11

6 4. SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR EACH TYPE OF CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT BODY 4.1. Calibration laboratories (EN ISO/IEC 17025) As far as calibration laboratories are concerned, accreditation may cover: - all types of laboratories; - all physical quantities and types of instruments, provided traceability may be achieved; - the performance of reference measurements in laboratory medicine, provided that the requirements of EN ISO/IEC are complemented with those of EN ISO Testing laboratories (EN ISO/IEC 17025) As far as testing laboratories are concerned, accreditation may cover: - all types of laboratories; - all technical sectors, with the exception of the activities of medical laboratories that can be covered by EN ISO 15189; - all types of tests, performed according standardised or published methods or national or European regulatory provisions or according to self-developed methods; in each case, an appropriate validation of the test method and of the results is required; - sampling activities when coupled to testing performed at least in part by the laboratory itself ; - test performed within the framework of national or international conformity assessment schemes, in the regulated or in the private fields (see also under point 5); - testing activities performed within the framework of activities as notified body - testing activities performed within the framework of inspection or product certification activities (provided the conditions documented under 4.9 are respected) Accreditation can only be granted for activities that the laboratory itself is able to perform as a whole. However, systematic subcontracting of the whole or of part of a testing process: - is accepted in case it is explicitly allowed by a national or European regulation or has been agreed by the concerned regulatory authority; - may be accepted by the Accreditation Board, on a case by case basis, in order to allow an accredited laboratory or a defined sector to cope with a specific situation; the following conditions need to be complied with: - the laboratory shall provide motivation for systematic subcontracting of the whole or of part of a testing process and the associated risks will be identified; - the testing processes or part thereof that will be systematically subcontracted will represent only a limited part of the accredited activities; - the activities shall be subcontracted to a laboratory accredited for the concerned activities; BELAC 1-03 Rev /11
