Suspensions, Withdrawals, and Reductions

The policy of the NAB-MALTA in relation to the suspending, reducing or withdrawing of accreditation shall involve a range of measures which are designed to protect the integrity of the accreditation system and to ensure that the CAB respects the requirements of accreditation. For further information please consult Regulations RAB01. Guidance is also available in document ATG01.

A list of conformity assessment bodies that have had their scope of accreditation suspended, withdrawn or reduced will be updated on this page. The NAB-MALTA has not imposed any sanctions in 2019. For any sanctions imposed prior to 2019, kindly contact the NAB-MALTA.

You should refer to the scopes of accreditation available at Directories of Accredited Bodies, for a definitive check of the accreditation status of an organisation.
