Tehran, Iran, June 25
By Mehdi Sepahvand – Trend:
The accreditation certificates issued for management systems by the National Accreditation Center of Iran (NACI) are recognized by 32 countries, NACI Director Nayereh Pirouzbakht said.
The recognition follows the signing of a multi-sided agreement between NACI and the Asia Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission, she told IRIB news agency June 25.
She further said that the new agreement will prevent companies inside Iran to one-sidedly issue certificate credentials, requiring them to work under the supervision of NACI.
“Iranian companies used to issue for example ISO 9000 or ISO 14000 credentials or give self-made rewards on quality, but they will be limited hence and would have the right to do so only of NACI approves,” Pirouzbakht said.
