The area of Research and Development of ONAC seeks to provide the market with tools that provide added value to the activities of conformity assessment, through the development of new services, which seeks constant change in environmental, socio-economic and social environments. The result is confidence in the quality and improvement of the competence of the Conformity Assessment Bodies, which in turn contribute substantially to the development, competitiveness, and therefore to the economic recovery of Colombia in such a crucial time as the one we are living in.
The process of developing new services at ONAC covers four stages in order to ensure that these developments sufficiently and concretely cover the needs of the market, with the opinion of key players in the chain of trust.
We conducted three surveys according to the identified audiences, in order to know and collect information about new needs for accreditation services development
We investigate the requirements of the service to be developed, the process of accreditation of the requirements, the associated costs and evaluate the suitability of the service, which aims to define if it can be accredited
We prioritize the needs of accreditation services, on a semi-annual basis, taking into account the needs of the country and the voluntary market
We prepare the Service Development Plan, which establishes the order of service development. Without neglecting new requests and needs that are identified throughout the year
At world level, there are different international organizations that develop standards in very specific sectors, under consensus among several countries in order to harmonize the guidelines of these standards to ensure their adequate implementation.
ONAC, as part of its commitment to meet the needs imposed by the market, is constantly seeking to incorporate new schemes and services that are in tune with these needs. Such is the case of WADA, as presented below:
The Sustainability Focused Services line is comprised of a set of regulatory schemes that address market needs for green goods and services.
The accreditation schemes provided by ONAC support the declaration it makes, as an accrediting body, regarding the competence of the Conformity Assessment Bodies to perform their activities in accordance with international assessment standards in globally recognized fields.
