The mail that I have received for ISO 17020 audit says... Peer evaluation registration scheme of inspection bodies.
Hi Amjad,
If the national accreditation body have to enter the Mutual Recognition Agreement they have to undergo a peer evaluation by two international accreditation organisations, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF)
This peer evaluation means that a team of international peer evaluators
evaluates the national system of accreditation to ensure that it does indeed meet the international criteria (ISO/IEC Guides 58 and 61) and that the accreditations granted by that national accreditation body are indeed similar to those granted by other members of the MLA.
