Accreditation of Sound and Vibration Laboratories


logo

As technical assessor, I offer assistance to Accreditation Councils. As a freelance team member, working with your lead assessor I can help you to assess laboratories specialised in any area of noise, acoustics and vibration. I have experience working for the Accreditation Council of the Netherlands (RvA) and the Slovenian Accreditation (SA). Laboratories are assessed according to ISO 17025 and equivalent standards. I have a good working knowledge of many acoustics and vibration standards.

On a more personal note, it is my understanding that assessment is more than just finding faults. With the right communication skills and a positive attitude, assessment is an excellent opportunity for the client laboratory to attain still higher quality standards. 

I have succesfully concluded a one-week course for Technical Assessors presented by the RvA in the Netherlands. Please feel free to email me with any of your questions.
