Accreditation. ISO 17025 Quality System:
AVALUA has implemented a Quality System in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 Standard “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”.
The beginning of AVALUA was as an Inspection Entity, in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17020: 2004 standard “General criteria for the operation of different types of inspection bodies” which was valid until April 2011.
From this date, with the change of accreditation scheme of ENAC, the Inspection Entities become Test Laboratories based on the UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 standard “General criteria for the accreditation of testing and calibration laboratories”.
From 2019, with the update of the standard to UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”, AVALUA, has been adapted to it. In addition, with this update, it already explicitly refers to ISO 9001, as a reference for the management system and quality assurance.
This internal Quality System has been audited and evaluated by the supreme body of recognition of competence, the National Accreditation Entity (ENAC) granting AVALUA the accreditation seal of inspection with nº 887/LE1774.
This accreditation means:
International recognition of the technical competence of AVALUA by an independent and competent body.
It offers the guarantee that the laboratory has been evaluated and accredited through a demanding independent quality control.
The personnel and instruments have been duly qualified in the management system that the laboratory has implemented.
It constitutes a differentiating fact in the market, guarantee of integrity and competition.
