The Russian Accreditation Authority (Federal Service for Accreditation—RusAccreditation) has inspected the activities of Russian certification bodies, organizations, and testing laboratories for possible violations.

During November 2018, RusAccreditation conducted 104 inspections.

The inspections were made to:

• Eliminate non-compliance with accreditation criteria  
• Assess the implementation of previously issued injunctions  
• Reveal possible violations by accredited individuals

As a result of the inspection of certification authorities:

• 10 accreditation authorities received temporary injunctions in order to fix violations  
• 9 accreditation authorities were suspended (including 6 certification bodies, 3 test laboratories)  
• 44 judicial acts were issued to violators  
• 3 accreditations of organizations were terminated

The following three accreditation bodies were closed due to the non-elimination of inconsistencies in the accreditation criteria revealed during the procedure for the confirmation of competence:

3 testing laboratories:

«IC “MIR» LTD - RA.RU.21БД01

«Petroshina» JSC -  RA.RU.22НХ95

GBU RS (Y) "Veterinary Administration with VIL Mirninsky region" - RA.RU.21ПЛ16
