UKAS has developed a suite of Readiness Self-assessment Tools, designed to support Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) operating across a range of sectors on their journey to achieving UKAS accreditation.
The free tools allow organisations to complete an online self-assessment against criteria based upon the relevant international standards used for the purpose of accreditation. These tools have been invaluable for prospective applicants in establishing their readiness to apply for accreditation, and in identifying any gaps that may need to be addressed prior to their initial assessment.
Available self-assessment tools:
ISO/IEC 17025 for testing and calibration laboratories – click here
BS 70000 for the accreditation of MPACE and diagnostic imaging services – click here
UKAS has also developed a readiness self-assessment tool for scheme owners operating across a range of sectors. This tool will help scheme owners to ascertain whether they are ready or not to move forward to establish if the scheme is eligible to be used for accreditation purposes.
