Personal and material scope The scope of the Regulation covers the activities of the NAH accreditation desk officers, general department heads, assessors/experts, the Accreditation Committee, the Deputy Director General, and the calibration laboratories to be accredited/accredited. 3. Definitions Basic concepts of metrology: Valid version of VIM (International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology) available at Terms and definitions of quality management: MSZ EN ISO 9000 Quality management systems. Basics and vocabulary MSZ EN ISO 9001 Quality management systems. Requirements Metrological traceability: NAR-36 Site: each unit that can be technically separated (laboratory, group of laboratories, etc.), each of which has a separate technical responsible person. (It is considered a separate site even if it is geographically on one site, e.g., in one building.) 4. Regulation 4.1. Overview of the accreditation programme In the accreditation of the calibration laboratories, NAH assesses the competence of the applicant organisation to establish if the quality of the tests performed thereby is in compliance with the standards, rules of law, NAH prescriptions applicable to the performance of laboratory tests and the internationally mutually accepted documents on accreditation and customer requirements Areas to be accredited Calibration areas to be accredited for which NAH has been prepared for in its activity, are contained in Table No. 1.
