Accreditation means the formal recognition of the technical and organizational competence of an authority to execute a specific service as described in the scope of accreditation.

Accreditation is a confidence building measure which allows authorities, economy and society to judge if testing, inspection or certification bodies (conformity assessment bodies) fulfill specific tasks with the demanded high reliability.

bio.inspecta AG is an accredited inspection and certification body in accordance with ISO/IEC 17020 and ISO/IEC 17065. All of the company’s activities are therefore under the supervision of the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS) of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).

“There's a point in every audit cycle where you're grateful you chose the right CAB, bio-inspecta are exactly that. Kim has a combination of dedication, technical rigour, and helpfulness which eases what can otherwise be a daunting process. Their auditors are well-briefed, knowledgeable, thorough, and fair. What stands out most is their investment in the industry itself, they clearly care about aquaculture and getting certification right, not just getting it done, but facilitate the process and are there to help. For any producer serious about ASC, I wouldn't look elsewhere.”
