EA’s history dates back as far as 1975. At present it has full stakeholder representation and it has strong ties with the European Commission. The EA-MLA covers all fields of accreditation. MLAs are increasingly important to trade. Stakeholders are pushing accreditors in Europe to not only recognize accredited conformity assessment from other countries but to accept it as well. This necessitates further deepening of MLA evaluation procedures. This is achieved through enhanced training, through harmonizing of evaluators and through the introduction of key issues to be addressed during evaluations. An international logo will demonstrate the acceptance to the market.
