Did you know? 🤔

NiNAS accreditation extends across different conformity assessment activities.

From testing and inspection to management system certification, personnel certification and medical laboratory services, NiNAS accredits conformity assessment bodies (CABs) that demonstrate the required competence and impartiality to perform specified activities.

So, how does NiNAS accreditation work?

It starts with an assessment of the conformity assessment body—its competence, impartiality, processes and ability to consistently perform its specified activities.

Where the requirements are met, accreditation is granted for the defined scope, with continued monitoring to maintain confidence.

Why does this matter? Because competent conformity assessment helps build confidence in results, decisions and services—supporting quality, safety and trusted trade.

🧪 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? A laboratory can be accredited for some tests, but not others?

Accreditation applies to a specific scope—the activities for which a laboratory has demonstrated competence.

So, don’t just ask “Is this lab accredited?”
Ask: “Is this specific test within its accredited scope?” 🔬

Know the scope. Trust the result.

NiNAS has just concluded its peer evaluation, conducted by a team of expert peer evaluators appointed by the African Accreditation Cooperation AFRAC.

A peer evaluation is an independent assessment of an accreditation body by experienced professionals from other internationally recognised accreditation bodies. Over the course of this exercise, the AFRAC team carried out a broad range of technical and management activities to assess NiNAS against internationally recognised requirements.

This matters because confidence in accredited laboratories, inspection bodies, certification bodies, and validation and verification bodies begins with confidence in the accreditation body itself. It is also the basis upon which regional and international accreditation cooperations determine an accreditation body’s eligibility for Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) and Multilateral Recognition Arrangements (MLAs), enabling accredited results and certificates to be accepted across borders and supporting international trade.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the AFRAC Peer Evaluation Team, our stakeholders, and the entire NiNAS team.

When the accreditor is trusted, the entire quality ecosystem is strengthened.
