Increase the quality and reduce the costs of environmental management through accreditation and certification

The pressure of human activity on the environment is growing. Industrial activity, transport
produce pollutants that degrade the environment with long-term devastating effects on
humanity. The establishment and implementation of the legislative aims to reduce / balance
the effects of pollution. Implementation of appropriate solutions in combating pollution is based
on:
- reliable information on the environmental impact agents;
- implementation to the economic agents of monitoring system / rapid response to the
detection of trends on emissions growth
1. The main information on the polluting agents are laboratory tests; according to these
information resources are allocated. The degree of confidence in the information depends on
the internal / external system of checks of the laboratory. Accreditation by an internationally
recognized body gives maximum confidence in quality tests conducted by a laboratory.
2. Economic agents are obliged by law to maintain control of environmental issues.
Confidence in implementing an effective environmental monitoring system is the result of
environmental factors on reducing / maintaining emissions within legal boundaries.
Environmental certification system implemented by the economic agents by a recognized body
provides confidence in the application of best prevention solutions.
Resources needed on accreditation of laboratories / certification systems implemented by
economic agents are preventive actions, representing about 30% of the resources allocated
to corrective actions (actions compulsory environmental incidents).
