The general issue of food-borne diseases has arisen to such a degree of seriousness, as has the incidence of malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS. More susceptible to diseases from the origin of foodstuffs : children, the elderly, also society with a weak immune system. Accredited laboratories own the area of responsibility in order to avoid diseases predetermined by the use of low-quality food products. Accredited bodies in accordance with ST RK ISO 22000, ISO 22000 conduct audits of food safety management systems.
In the circumstances of the increase in the world population, also the demand for products nutrition, there is an increase in tension and the industrialization of sections of crop production, as well as animal husbandry, which forms both the latest capabilities, and thus the latest threats to food safety. According to monitoring, climate change will still have a negative impact on food safety. These tasks entrust food producers, as well as employees of the food industry, with an additional responsibility after ensuring food safety. In terms of the process of food products, together with the tremendous speed over long distances , local incidents have every chance of rapidly increasing up to the scale of international emergencies. In the final decade, major outbreaks of foodborne disease have been seen on every continent, the scale of which has often been exacerbated by the effects of the globalization of international trade.
Accreditation began to develop along with the formation of mass industrial production, the emergence of standards and rules for the performance of work. The first "types" of accreditation in the modern sense appeared in the 19th century. The impetus for its development in the industrial sector was the need to ensure the consistency of the results of evaluation and measurements. In order to ensure trust between the manufacturer and the consumer of the product, the participation of an independent third party, which both the consumer and the manufacturer will trust, was required. The very word "accreditation" comes from the Latin "asstefo" - to trust. Accreditation has become the main tool that provides tacos with trust. Over time, it acquired a wider range of activities and began to be applied in almost all sectors of the economy .
The relationship of such components as standardization, metrology, certification and accreditation is the essence of the very concept of quality at the present stage of development of a market economy. All these areas are closely interconnected. The quality of goods entering the market largely depends on the accuracy and reliability of measurements, tests carried out in testing laboratories, which confirm the compliance of product quality and safety indicators laid down in regulatory documents. Conformity assessment bodies (CAB), on the basis of test reports, issue certificates of conformity or declarations for products that have passed all the necessary tests. If the product during testing does not meet at least one indicator, a certificate or declaration is not issued. All stages of this process are related to certification (conformity assessment), which, in turn, must confirm their competence to perform all their work properly. through the accreditation process. This is the difference between accreditation and certification. Thus, accreditation is a procedure for official recognition by an authorized body that a conformity assessment body has a quality management system and can perform work properly in accordance with the scope of accreditation, while certification is a written confirmation by a third party that a product, management system N personnel meets certain requirements.
All work on conformity assessment in the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out by duly accredited conformity assessment bodies. The network of accredited bodies and testing laboratories is expanding every year. Currently, there are approximately 1,631 accreditation entities in the republic, of which 906 testing laboratories, including 82 OPS and 362 testing laboratories, are included in the Unified Register of the Customs Union.
For further improvement and development of the testing base of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which forms the basis of accreditation, it is necessary to switch to international standards. establishing requirements for testing laboratories: to solve the problem of technical provision of the testing base with modern equipment, modern testing methods: to develop a network of testing laboratories and OPS, including in new areas.
Obtaining knowledge and competencies in the field of accreditation by students of the direction of standardization and certification is an urgent task, since after graduation, many graduates face the accreditation system, working in various bodies to confirm the conformity of products, services, personnel, management systems, testing laboratories and centers . Currently, in Kazakhstan there is a problem of lack of educational literature on the accreditation of OPS and IL, which was the reason for the development of this textbook, which we believe will partially fill this gap. When forming the textbook, the main procedural documents of the "National Accreditation Body" of the Republic of Kazakhstan were used, the leadership of which gave official permission to use these materials as educational material. We express to the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Center for Accreditation of the Republic of Kazakhstan Serik Sholpankulovich Kurmangaliev, a specialist with extensive practical experience in the field of accreditation, whose participation, as a co-author, made it possible to take into account all the changes and additions to the legislative and regulatory framework in the accreditation system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, UES in recent years, use materials and information taken from the practice of the NCA.
Due to the fact that accreditation is a special type of conformity assessment, and accreditation bodies represent the highest level in the structure of participants in the conformity assessment process, their organizational and legal form must fully ensure the fulfillment of all the requirements of international standards and agreements on mutual recognition of results. To obtain accreditation, certification bodies and testing laboratories apply for accreditation. In addition to accreditation officials, independent experts who have passed certification in accreditation and are specialists in special areas of knowledge are involved in the accreditation process. Based on the results of the accreditation procedure, certification bodies and testing laboratories are issued accreditation certificates. The accreditation certificate may be suspended or canceled by accreditation in case of violations in the activities of the accredited organization. In addition to accreditation of certification bodies and testing laboratories, accreditation is also vested with the authority to accredit expert organizations involved by authorities in the exercise of control, organizations that carry out non-state examination of project documentation and engineering surveys, as well as the authority to maintain registers of certificates and declarations confirming compliance with technical regulations. .
Laboratory accreditation is one of the important mechanisms for providing consumer confidence in the quality and competence of the work that the laboratory can perform. Accreditation means the official recognition of the ability of the laboratory to meet the requirements of customers in the field of testing, measurement or research, as well as its technical competence in performing certain types of tests and measurements.
The laboratory must have the status of accredited if it performs the following types of work: tests for the purposes of certification (mandatory and voluntary) or declaration of conformity of products, quality control of oil refining and petrochemical products, quality control of alcohol and alcohol-containing products, quality control of milk and dairy products, quality control of oil and fat products, quality control of juice products from fruits and vegetables, control quality control of drinking and mineral water, quality control of products for construction, quality control of grain and products of its processing (including bread and bakery products), production control over compliance with sanitary rules, classification and certification of waste determining the actual amount of industrial emissions into the atmosphere and discharges into water bodies, conducting analyzes and measurements for third-party organizations.
Many countries have great potential to industrialize the food and beverage industry, with the potential to create new jobs and increase productivity. Insufficient infrastructure in the food industry, including conformity assessment services , creates barriers for businesses such as lack of access to markets, jobs, information and training. The quality infrastructure is directly related to the achievement of social, economic and political goals. Accredited conformity assessment services support efforts to upgrade the technological capabilities of the food industry and develop sustainable infrastructure.
Unsafe food affects nutrient absorption in different ways. For example, toxins can lead to exhaustion. Some of the most nutritious foods can cause foodborne illness, and safety concerns can lead consumers to forego nutritious foods. ISO/IEC 17065 accredited product certification bodies conduct production and supply chain audits of a variety of food products to determine compliance with local and international requirements.
For the buyer, the safety of the product means, first of all, the safety of their loved ones. Products are made more reliable when suppliers are involved in their development, whether in this case raw materials, components, assemblies, design, manufacture or sale. Prototyping also controls production readiness to reduce the possibility of manufacturing flaws .
The market needs confidence that conformity assessment bodies are operating in accordance with accepted standards, and accreditation is responsible for this.
Accreditation acts in the public interest and determines the technical competence and objectivity of such bodies. Conformity assessment demonstrates that all supplied goods actually comply with specified or declared requirements. Conformity assessment can be carried out on a product, service, process, system, organization or person and includes activities such as testing, inspection and certification.
