- Conducting surveillance audits to maintain accreditation validity.
- Applying administrative measures, such as suspension or withdrawal, for non-compliance.
Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
A centralized database will track accredited verifiers and their compliance status. Regular peer reviews and information exchanges among EU Member States will enhance transparency and oversight.
