DANAK

What is accreditation?

Accreditation is a system by which the accreditation body checks and verifies that a company meets its obligations when carrying out its processes. It is an approval of the technical competences of laboratories and companies.

DANAK is the national accreditation body in Denmark appointed by The Danish Safety Technology Authority, under the Ministry of Business and Growth Denmark. As the national accreditation body DANAK is responsible for accreditation of laboratories and companies.

DANAK is cooperating with a number of international organisations to ensure that Danish regulations and demands in the areas of accreditation and metrology are at an international level and recognised globally. In the international cooperation for accreditation (EA) (IAF) (ILAC) the purpose is a harmonised interpretation and application of the international standards for accreditation of laboratories, certification and inspection bodies, and global recognition of accredited reports and certificates.
