Essential to the development of trade and the movement of people, the field of transport, logistics and infrastructure faces considerable challenges in terms of safety and performance.
European and national policies draw extensively on accreditation to minimise the risks of accidents and the exposure of people to potentially hazardous transport conditions.
The health crises of recent months have served as a reminder of the importance of the inspections carried out.
Tests and analyses constitute a major proportion of these inspections. Conducted under the umbrella of accreditation, they make it possible to ensure, for example, that the water or the food that we consume are safe for our health.
By guaranteeing that the analyses and tests have been conducted by competent and impartial laboratories, accreditation establishes confidence in the reliability of the results obtained. In this way, it helps to reduce the risk of health crises, enabling public authorities and companies to take the necessary measures when the situation so requires.
