Legislation update
Appoint the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (“UKAS”) to be the National Accreditation Body for the United Kingdom in support of Council Reg 765/08/EC.
Establish a process for the resolution of appeals made against UKAS’ accreditation decisions and gives UKAS the right to charge fees for accreditation.
Council Reg 765/08/EC is intended to boost intra-community trade by supporting the marketing and free movement of goods throughout the European Community and the principle of mutual recognition, that a product lawfully marketed in one Member State, and not subject to Community harmonisation, should be allowed to be marketed in any other member state.
