4.2 Input from EA’s Accreditation for Notification (AfN) Project

Europe Accreditation (EA) has issued document EA:2/17 [11] about accreditation for notification purposes, and they are regularly publishing updates for this project. Their 2025 update [9] mentions CRA, and the preferred standards that are proposed are:

  • for Module B, “EN ISO/IEC 17065 + testing and inspection capability will be required”; and
  • for Module H, “EN ISO/IEC 17021-1 + auditor competence must include specific product knowledge”.

In addition, EA 2/17 provides additional details in Annex B. For Module B:

  • for testing, “fulfilment of the applicable requirements of clause 6 and 7 (except 7.9) in EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 shall be demonstrated”; and
  • for product knowledge, the requirement is the ability to make professional judgments related to product requirements, so “fulfilment of clauses 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.6 to 6.1.10 of EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 shall be demonstrated”.

And for Module H, only product knowledge applies, so the requirement is the ability to make professional judgments related to product requirements, so “fulfilment of clauses 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.6 to 6.1.10 of EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 shall be demonstrated”.
