Accreditation Bodies - Organics

Accreditation Bodies assess TPAs against ISO standard 17020 and supplementary criteria set by NZFSA and outlined in NZFSA Standards.

Based on their findings, they recommend to NZFSA whether a TPA or an individual should be recognised or accredited and recommend an assessment frequency categorisation.

The Accreditation Bodies that operate in NZ are International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) and Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ).
