Therefore, in the middle of last year we started the process of transition of the German accreditation of the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS) to the accreditation granted by the Czech Accreditation Institute (CAI). We have successfully completed this accreditation process in February this year. We are currently listed as an accredited body under the number 3258. We have extended our existing Czech accreditation for "GMP+" standards in the field of management system certification according to EN ISO /IEC 17021-1:2016 to the following standards: EN ISO 9001:2015, EN ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, EN ISO 50001:2018, EN ISO/IEC 27001:2017 and certification of pressure equipment (MODULE – H).
In connection with the accreditation of the CAI for the certification of management systems, we inform you that our goal is to transfer the certificates under the accreditation of the CAI. You do not have to be concerned about the transition, because we maintain our auditors' qualifications for both accreditations and the certification process is identical to the transition under CAI accreditation for clients with GMP+ standard, which took place already in 2020.
In the framework of the international associations EA and IAF, the CAI accreditation is recognised in the same way as the DAkkS. The DAkkS accreditation will continue to be maintained by our headquarters in Germany, thus enabling our clients to choose the accreditation body.
If you therefore wish to maintain your certification under the German DAkkS accreditation, we are ready to meet your requirements. Please however bear in mind that in this case you have to take into account (due to increased costs) an increase of 8% in the audit price.
Due to the continuously rising fuel prices we are unfortunately obliged, after more than 10 years, to increase the price for travel costs to 12.50 CZK/km. This rate partially compensates for the auditors' "travel time".
We believe that you will accept these changes with understanding and appreciate our efforts not to unnecessarily increase your certification related costs.
Thank you for maintaining your loyalty to us and we will be looking forward to further cooperation.
