NATA Accreditation for Ecotech WHY ACCREDITATION IS IMPORTANT Accreditation by an industry recognised organisation is important to industries, businesses and communities alike. Accreditation gives assurance that the highest of standards and requirements are being met to keep workforces and local communities safe, and the environment protected. It is determined by an extensive and strict process of consideration, examination and review, giving the public confidence and knowledge that an accredited organisation consistently practices quality professional services and technical activities. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TESTING AUTHORITIES (NATA) NATA is the authority responsible for the accreditation of laboratories, inspection bodies, calibration service providers, producers of reference materials and proficiency testing scheme providers throughout Australia. Through NATA accreditation, there is formal independent assurance that these facilities provide technical competence and produce reliable technical results. Accreditation is achieved after NATA has assessed an organisation for: • Competence and experience of its staff • Integrity of its equipment and materials • Technical validity of its methods and processes • Quality of its records and reports. NATA’s peer assessments are an integral requirement to maintain accreditation and these are conducted by teams of recognised experts in the particular field of activity or profession, accompanied by highly trained members of NATA’s professional staff. FOR OUR CUSTOMERS Accreditation is a valuable risk management tool. By selecting an accredited supplier, organisations can be sure of the quality of goods or services they purchase. Working with a NATA accredited organisation gives businesses confidence in the products and services they are receiving. It also demonstrates a business’s due diligence in the event of legal requirement.
