WHAT IRCP ACCREDITATION MEANS
Recognition linked to a defined scope
IRCP accreditation indicates that an organization or conformity assessment body has been evaluated against the applicable framework, within a defined scope and for a specified period. It supports clearer practices, partner confidence and continuous improvement.
Decisions are published with the information needed for understanding and verification when the holder has authorized publication.
LIMITS AND TRANSPARENCY
A clearly defined private accreditation
IRCP accreditation does not replace an administrative authorization, state recognition, diploma equivalence, professional license or decision by a competent national body.
IRCP does not present itself as a public body and does not claim automatic recognition by ISO, Global ACI or INQAAHE. Each normative or international reference is presented according to its actual scope.
QUALITY REFERENCES
A framework open to international references
ISO/IEC 17011 is the principal reference for the operation of an accreditation body accrediting conformity assessment bodies. Sector-specific criteria are defined separately for VET, higher education quality assurance, management system certification and inspection activities.
