ROBION does not hold accreditation. When a buyer, insurer or regulator needs an accredited inspection or lab report, we scope the work and coordinate it with CNAS-accredited partners.
Sets requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistency of bodies that inspect products, processes and installations.
Sets requirements for laboratories to produce valid, traceable results. Accreditation applies only to the methods listed in the lab's scope.
Accreditation confirms that an inspection body or laboratory is competent for a defined scope. It is not a certificate for your product, and it does not cover work outside that scope.
In China, inspection bodies and laboratories are accredited by CNAS, the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment. CNAS takes part in the international ILAC and IAF recognition arrangements, which is what lets an accredited report be accepted outside China.
Always check the partner's scope schedule for the exact standard, edition and product before relying on a report.
Agree which results must be accredited for your buyer, insurer or market, and which can come from ROBION inspection.
Select a partner whose current CNAS scope covers the exact standard, edition and product type.
Tie samples sent to the partner to serials and to the lot evidence, so the lab result describes the shipped units.
The partner issues its report under its own accreditation. ROBION's report references it.
A partner's accreditation is never presented as ROBION's.
Accredited reports carry the partner's name, accreditation number and scope. ROBION's own report references them and links them to the lot evidence.
