Notice

ISO 50001: 2018 training held in December 2019

The General Directorate of Accreditation, in cooperation with the PTB project, conducted a training on ISO 50001: 2018 at the end of December. This standard focuses on the energy management system and energy audit. This training was attended by CAB representatives, field evaluators and DA staff. This training was considered very successful due to the fact that the field of energy auditing is a relatively new field for us and the interest of operators operating in this field is very high.

The online application procedure for accreditation

The General Directorate of Accreditation notifies all those interested in re-accreditation, extension, reduction or initial application to apply online at the https://akreditim.dpa.gov.al/ platform.

The Accreditation Informatization System was developed to assist CABs to facilitate the accreditation procedure. It can be accessed by clicking on “Online Accreditation”, which is at the top of our web site. Applying through this system is equivalent to how it is handled in such cases in European Union countries.
