INAB provides accreditation across a wide economic, regulatory and public policy landscape. It is the sole national accreditation body for Ireland appointed by the government, and it is recognised by the European Commission in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 [2]. INAB is part of the Health and Safety Authority (HSA). INAB provides accreditation of CABs to international standards through a series of peer assessments, confirming their competence, integrity and independence to perform testing, inspection, certification, verification, and calibration services. INAB is Ireland’s representative in European and international fora on accreditation, actively contributing to policy and bringing forward Ireland’s interests. In line with our strategy for accreditation, INAB will continue to focus on building relationships, forming strategic alliances and collaborating at all levels to ensure accreditation strongly supports Ireland’s interests at an EU and international level. The vital role that accreditation has in unlocking European and international trade will play an important role in Ireland’s sustained economic recovery and long-term prosperity.
