Public authorities, both central and local, are obliged to protect the needs of citizens - health, education, transport, work, public works etc. -
and to deliver quality because they carry out works and provide public utility services (health, schools, transport, environment, energy technological and administrative public services).
To perform these tasks a growing number of public authorities are turning to accreditation, both as a way of guaranteeing procedures which are legally regulated, and as a useful process of evaluation in order to grant authorisation, recognition and for notifications coming within their domain.
The information is a reworking of the contents of the main menu (ABOUT US, ACCREDITATION, PUBLICATIONS), structured to meet the operative needs of users, making all the relevant documentation available.
- Accreditation, certification, inspection and testing...what role do they have in the legislative and regulatory context?
- 9001, 14001, 18001, 27001, UNI, EN, ISO, OHSAS...what do they mean?
- In which sectors can accreditation be applied?
- Is it worthwhile for a public entity to apply for accreditation?
- How does one draw up a competitive tender with references to certification?
- In Italy, who performs the task of conformity assessment?
- How can a public or local institution actively participate in RCBH?
To these and other questions regarding the world of business and of consumers, we hope to be able to give answers in RCBH's website.
