Extension of the MLA scope to cover Reference Materials Producers

The General Assembly, during EA 39th GA in May 2017, has approved the launching of the EA MLA for Reference Material Producers (EN ISO 17034) during the Council meeting in April 2019, provided that at least three members are successfully peer-evaluated by that date.

To confirm equivalence of accreditation activities or validity of reports and certificates issue by accredited bodies, EA Members can use EA-INF/04 and issue a “statement of equivalence” in response to requests made by regulators or other users.
