Introduction

Italy’s national accreditation system centers on ACCREDIA, the sole body designated by the government under European Regulation 765/2008 and operating per ISO/IEC 17011.buzziunicem+1

Core Mandate

ACCREDIA accredits testing/calibration labs (ISO 17025), medical labs (ISO 15189), inspection bodies (ISO 17020), product certification bodies (ISO 17065), and management systems certifiers (ISO 17021) across its Certification/Inspection, Testing Labs, and Calibration Labs departments.

Strategic Role

As a non-profit under the Ministry of Economic Development, ACCREDIA ensures EU mutual recognition as International Laboratory association/International body signatory, supporting automotive, food, machinery, and healthcare exports without re-testing—aligned with Israel ISRAC and emerging GAC frameworks

Accreditation Body ISO 17011

ISRAC operates as Israel’s national accreditation body under ISO/IEC 17011:2017, the international standard governing requirements for accrediting conformity assessment bodies such as testing labs and inspection organizations.israc+1

Implementation Framework

ISRAC fully transitioned to ISO 17011:2017 by implementing risk management systems, impartiality controls, and peer evaluations as an International Laboratory association signatory, with periodic surveillance ensuring ongoing compliance for scopes like ISO 17025 and 17065.managementsystems+1

Global Benchmarking

This positions ISRAC equivalently to Italy’s ACCREDIA and Ireland’s INAB, enabling mutual recognition that supports seamless EU/US market access for accredited hi-tech and defense entities without re-testing

Inspection Body ISO 17020

ISRAC ISO 17020 Accreditation

ISRAC accredits inspection bodies under ISO/IEC 17020, the standard for the operation of various types of inspection bodies performing conformity assessments with competence, impartiality, and consistency.israc+1

Accreditation Process

ISRAC assesses inspection organizations for quality system compliance with ISO 17020 requirements, including documented procedures, personnel competence, equipment verification, and impartiality controls during on-site evaluations.

Sector Applications

Scopes cover environmental, industrial safety, and regulatory inspections, integrating with ISO 17025 testing for full conformity assessment chains, enabling EU mutual recognition as an International Laboratory association signatory similar to Italy ACCREDIA.

Product Certification Body ISO 17065

ISRAC explicitly accredits product certification bodies under ISO/IEC 17065, the standard for organizations certifying products, processes, or services, as confirmed in official ISRAC documentation and processes.wwbridge-cert+1

Key Applications

This covers bodies like IQC and ITL, enabling “Standards Mark” certification for electrical goods, construction materials, and consumer products through integrated testing (ISO 17025) and inspection (ISO 17020) scopes.iqc+1

Global Integration

As an International Laboratory association/International body signatory under ISO 17011, ISRAC’s ISO 17065 accreditations ensure EU/US mutual recognition without re-certification, aligning with Italy ACCREDIA’s framework for hi-tech exports

Accreditation Laboratory ISO 17065 / ISO 15185

ISRAC accredits laboratories seeking product certification capabilities under ISO/IEC 17065, as explicitly listed alongside core scopes like ISO 17025 (testing/calibration) and ISO 15189 (medical labs).israc+1

Standards Distinction

Laboratories themselves pursue primary accreditation to ISO 17025 or 15189 for competence in testing; ISO 17065 applies when those labs extend into product certification roles, ensuring impartiality and process rigor (Note: ISO 15185 does not exist; likely refers to ISO 15189).iasonline+1

Practical Integration

This enables Israeli labs to handle end-to-end conformity assessment—from testing data via ISO 17025 to certification issuance under ISO 17065—streamlining EU/US market access as with Italy ACCREDIA or Ireland INAB frameworks.

Rating Agencies ISO 14064 / ISO 17021

ISRAC does not accredit rating agencies under ISO 14064 (GHG quantification/verification) or ISO 17021 (management systems certification), focusing instead on laboratories (ISO 17025), medical labs (ISO 15189), inspections (ISO 17020), and product certification (ISO 17065).managementsystems+1

Alternative Oversight

GHG verification/validation under ISO 14064 is managed by Israel’s Standards Institution (SII) certification branch, accredited via International body for environmental schemes, integrating with ISRAC testing data for regulatory compliance.wwbridge-cert+1

Ecosystem Alignment

ISO 17021 applies to SII’s quality/environmental certifiers, creating a complementary framework that supports EU/US mutual recognition like Italy ACCREDIA, without ISRAC direct involvement in rating activities

GHG Verification / Validator

ISRAC does not accredit GHG verifiers/validators; this falls under the Standards Institution of Israel (SII) Quality and Certification Branch, accredited by ANSI/ANAB per ISO 14064-3 and ISO 14065 for greenhouse gas validation/verification.china-gauges+1

SII Capabilities

SII validates emission inventories (ISO 14064-1), project reductions (ISO 14064-2), and declarations for Israel’s Ministry of Environmental Protection reporting systems, issuing their official GHG validation mark with international IQNet recognition.sii+1

Framework Integration

SII leverages ISRAC-accredited ISO 17025 labs for testing data, ensuring EU/US compliance in hi-tech/defense sectors similar to Italy ACCREDIA, with ANSI oversight complementing ISRAC’s core laboratory/inspection mandates
