What is Accredited Periodic Inspection? The Importance of TURKAK Accreditation
Short answer: Accredited periodic inspection, Authorized by TÜRKAK according to TS EN ISO/IEC 17020 standard. This is an inspection carried out by an auditing organization. This accreditation guarantees the organization's impartiality, technical competence, and the legal/international validity of its reports.
A critical question that most businesses overlook when having periodic inspections done is: 'Is the organization preparing this report accredited?' Because the competence of the organization performing the inspection determines the value of the report, as much as the inspection itself.
