Dr. Sharon McGuinness:

I would like to add to the points that have been made. As I have said, accreditation is an independent and impartial system. We assess it on the basis of the merits, the evidence and the standards we look at across the board with regard to a laboratory, a certification body or a notification body. That is why I said earlier that it is very much part of a bigger system. There is accreditation, but there is also quality assurance. Ongoing assurance steps are also involved. More people are involved in that. Therefore, the site visit element of accreditation takes place once a year. We provide accreditation for a year. If we are made aware of inconsistencies, or if we find out ourselves about such matters, we can address them.
