Having access to reliable energy supplies is essential for the smooth running of society. Secure energy supply is therefore vital and relies on efficient infrastructures for producing and distributing power.
Accreditation is widely used in the framework of the public and industrial policies deployed. By ensuring the reliability of the inspections carried out, accreditation reinforces confidence in the products used and the infrastructures employed.
Many facilities and installations present major risks for energy supply if they are not correctly constructed, installed or maintained.
Carrying out regular inspections, or inspections on commissioning, enables these risks to be reduced. The fact that the inspection bodies carrying out inspections are accredited reinforces confidence in the services carried out, since the impartiality and competence of the bodies have been verified.
Use of accredited inspections also enables the supply chain to be controlled for the inspection of suppliers and for reinforced internal inspections of product quality.
Accredited inspections thus participate actively in the energy security of the country.
