Understanding accreditation, certification and authorisation

Accreditation relates to an approved scope of defined inspection or testing activities, ISO 9001 certification applies to the quality management system, and regulatory documents represent authorisations granted by the relevant public authorities.

Accreditations apply only to activities included within the relevant TÜRKAK accreditation scopes. Please refer to TÜRKAK’s official records for the current scopes.
