 The European Co-operation for Accreditation has 36 full members and 2 associate members who have all signed the MLA for testing, calibration and product certification.
AEMCLRP for recognition of EMC tests in the automotive sector and Blue Tooth for recognition of tests on hardware used in wireless networks are negotiating with EA. They are willing to rely on laboratories accredited by an EA MLA signatory to perform the tests according to their specific requirements. A pool of a limited number of technical assessors have now been qualified after having successfully attended specific training courses. They are available to all EA members to carry out the evaluations within the frame of these schemes. They are listed in the following table.

Negotiations with Blue Tooth and AEMCLRP aim to agree on a MoU; only shall EA members interested in participating in the schemes sign up. In addition, the General Assembly agreed that there was now a real need in EA to have a policy to deal with such schemes. The approach would be for EA to define the limiting factors without undermining the MLA or the accreditation bodies’ services.
