Accreditation Helps Ensure Certification Marks Will Have Full Acceptance
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. — Intertek announced that its Code Evaluation Services have been granted accreditation by the International Code Council’s (ICC’s) International Accreditation Service (IAS). Intertek has maintained accreditation as a product certification agency under ISO Guide 65 for a number of years, but now the company is accredited to provide code evaluation services as well.
Evaluation service accreditation has historically been voluntary; however, some regulatory bodies are now mandating that product certification agencies comply with ISO Guide 65. With the accreditation of its Code Evaluation Services in place, Intertek said it is now positioned to meet the needs of its clients in jurisdictions throughout the United States.
