CNAs accreditation is the abbreviation of China National Accreditation Service for conformity assessment (CNAs). It is a laboratory combined and reorganized on the basis of the former China National Accreditation Service (CNAB) and China National Accreditation Commission for laboratories (CNAL). The laboratory has obtained the CNAs Accreditation Mark and its ability has been recognized by the national accreditation organization, The report with approval mark can be issued to facilitate business.

1. Prove that the laboratory has the technical ability to calibrate / test in accordance with relevant international standards

The laboratory has been recognized by CNAs, which indicates that it has established a quality management system in line with international standards. As long as the laboratory works in strict accordance with the quality management system, the technical ability of the laboratory can be guaranteed. Then, the testing / calibration services provided by the laboratory to customers can be claimed to meet the requirements of international standards.

2. Improve the competitiveness of the laboratory in the calibration / testing market and win the trust of government departments and all sectors of society

The products of the laboratory are test reports or calibration certificates. The quality of inspection report or calibration certificate is related to the reputation and survival of the laboratory and determines the competitiveness of the laboratory. ISO / IEC 17025 helps laboratories plan, control, guarantee and improve the quality of "products" through various quality management activities to ensure the quality of "products" and services. For laboratory customers, the selection of laboratories with recognized technical capabilities can reduce the risk of providing unqualified "products".

CNAs accreditation can effectively improve the management level of the laboratory, ensure the fairness and effectiveness of the test data issued by the laboratory, fully display the testing ability and notarization ability of the laboratory, improve the market share and customer satisfaction.

3. Participate in the bilateral and multilateral cooperation of international laboratory certification and get wider recognition

Chinese certification bodies have signed mutual recognition agreements with APLAC and ILAC. The signing of this agreement has established a "highway" for China's laboratories to participate in international activities. Through the accreditation of CNAs, the laboratory can contact other signatories of the agreement in this way, so as to obtain wider accreditation. In this way, we can not only increase the communication between the laboratory and international peers, but also use the advantages of mutual recognition to attract more laboratory customers and reduce costs.

4. It has been included in the list of national laboratory accreditation to improve the popularity of the laboratory

CNAs edits and publishes the "laboratory certification catalogue" every year, which is a combination of Chinese and English. It can also be used by domestic laboratories, relevant machine rights and foreign accreditation institutions. This will undoubtedly have a positive advertising effect on listed laboratories, so as to improve the popularity of certified laboratories.

5. The approval mark can be used within the approved project scope

Certification mark refers to the graphic mark issued by CNAs to the accredited laboratory, which is allowed to be used within the specified range to indicate that the accredited laboratory is qualified to obtain CNAs certification. In order to protect the interests of the national certification authority and certified laboratories, the national certification authority has put forward strict requirements for the management of certification labels according to relevant international requirements, and stipulated corresponding measures to deal with fraud and abuse, including litigation when necessary. Through these means, we can not only ensure the legitimate rights and interests of CNAs and Certification Laboratories, but also reduce and reduce the infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of CNAs and Certification Laboratories.

Through the National Laboratory Accreditation, the laboratory can effectively improve the quality management level of the laboratory, continuously improve the reputation of the enterprise, enhance the market's trust in enterprises and products, eliminate the technical barriers in international trade to the greatest extent, mutually recognize the test results and meet the challenge of China's entry into WTO, which means that the company's quality management has taken a big step towards internationalization. The laboratory accreditation is based on ISO / IEC17025, This is an international standard for laboratory quality management and technical requirements. The recognition of the laboratory by CNAs indicates that the laboratory has established a set of quality management system according to international standards. As long as the work is carried out in strict accordance with this system, the technical ability of the laboratory will be guaranteed, and the testing / calibration services provided by the laboratory to customers can be claimed to meet the requirements of international standards, The products sold by enterprises can also be claimed to be qualified by laboratories that meet the requirements of international standards and recognized by national laboratories.
