Outline of Presentation
INTRODUCTION LEGISLATION TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNICAL COMPETENCE WTO/TBT & ACCREDITATION SUPERVISION IN THE MARKET SUPPORTING GOVERNMENT OBJECTIVES MUTUAL RECOGNITION ARRANGEMENTS INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION CONCLUSION

Introduction Who is SANAS?
The South African National Accreditation System SANAS is currently the ninth largest, internationally recognized, national accreditation body in the world. It was inaugurated in (as a section 21 company). The creation of a single national accreditation body, SANAS, allowed S.A to remain competitive nationally and internationally due to the ability to independently confirm competence of its Technical Infrastructure Accreditation is increasingly being used by S.A Regulators, as part of managing local regulatory risk, to ensure both the competence and consistency of outcomes of service providers used in the local regulatory domain

LEGISLATION The Accreditation for Conformity Assessment, Calibration and Good Laboratory Practice Act, 19 of 2006 Act 19 of 2006 Purpose: establish SANAS as a public entity; recognize SANAS as the sole accreditation body for conformity assessment, calibration and GLP compliance.

TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Accreditation, together with Metrology, Standards and Conformity assessment are referred to as the Technical infrastructure Globalization is increasing the demands on countries to demonstrate that they have the Technical Infrastructure to guarantee that products originating in their territories are safe and fit for purpose Technical Infrastructure is required to meet the standards and measurement challenges required by health and safety considerations, environmental consideration as well as considerations of Consumer Protection

Government Acts & Regulations
TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE Government Acts & Regulations NRCS; DoL, DEAT, DME, DoH etc SABS Standard Div. SANAS Accreditation Standards/Specifications Technical Infrastructure Traceability Calibration, Testing, Inspection, Cert, Verification labs NMISA Conformity Assessment

TECHNICAL COMPETENCE Many countries now rely on Accreditation as a means of determining technical competence. Accreditation uses transparent and impartial criteria and procedures based on appropriate national and/or international standards, specifically developed to determine technical competence. Specialist technical assessors conduct a thorough evaluation of all factors in a laboratory, inspection body or certification body that affect the result of test, calibration and inspection data and/or production processes.

TECHNICAL COMPETENCE Accreditation bodies such as SANAS assess factors relevant to a organisation’s ability to produce precise, accurate test, calibration and inspection data, including the: - technical competency of staff; - validity and appropriateness of methods; - traceability of measurements to national standards; - suitability, calibration and maintenance of equipment; - suitable environmental conditions; - handling of test / inspection items; - quality assurance processes

WTO / TBT & Accreditation
The WTO has specific requirements for the procedures for assessment conformity with technical regulations and standards by its members to prevent obstacles to trade. The agreement on TBT set rules to make sure these regulations are fair, they must be: transparent, justifiable, non-discriminatory & wherever possible be based on international standards

Although WTO desire that technical regulations, standards & procedures for conformity assessment do not create a TBT it is also recognised by the WTO that no country should be prevented from measures to ensure: The quality of its exports, protection of human health or safety, protection of animal or plant life or health, the protection of the environment, prevention against deceptive practises & protection of its security interest.

In order to ensure Conformity Assessment activities are performed by competent service providers. Governments are increasingly creating and employing National Accreditation Bodies

Supervision in the Market
Accreditation Bodies Accreditation service Conformity assessment bodies Certification Body Inspection Body Test Lab Cal Lab Conformity Assessment Service Market Demands for competent conformity assessment Conforming product/service Product/ service Purchasers Regulators Requirements Suppliers Trade Organizations and Authorities Demands for facilitating trade

Government / Regulatory Responsibility
Government bodies and regulators are constantly called upon to make decisions related to: Protecting the health and welfare of consumers and the public; Protecting the environment; Developing new regulations and requirements; Assessing compliance; Allocating resources. Government bodies and regulators must have confidence in data generated by laboratories and/or inspection bodies to help make these decisions. Using an accredited conformity assessment body can help establish and assure this confidence.

Important Factors When Selecting a Conformity Assessment Body
A conformity assessment body must be able to supply accurate and reliable testing, calibration or measurement results. Factors contributing to the technical competence of a conformity assessment body include: Qualifications, training and experience of the staff; Correct equipment – properly calibrated and maintained; Adequate quality assurance procedures; Proper sampling practices; Appropriate and valid testing procedures and methods; Traceability of measurement to national standards; Accurate recording and reporting procedures; Suitable testing / inspection facilities.

MRAs BETWEEN ACCREDITATION BODIES
The Fundamental Purpose Organisation accredited by one partner is recognised as possessing equivalent competence to an organisation accredited by the other(s)

MRAs BENEFITS FOR REGULATORS
Two types of MRAs Government to Government Voluntary sector (eg ILAC Arrangement) Access to multiple providers of compliance data domestic laboratories foreign laboratories Reduced needs for Government compliance testing Allows appropriate harmonisation / recognition of equivalence of regulatory requirements

THE INTERNATIONAL PICTURE
ILAC EA APLAC IAAC SADCA EA European co-operation for Accreditation APLAC Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation IAAC Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation SADCA Southern African Accreditation Cooperation

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION LABORATORIES
Through ILAC, (Dec. 2000) mutual recognition of SANAS certificates in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam. This represents 68 AB’s in 56 economies

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION CERTIFICATION BODIES
Signed the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) Multilateral Agreement in October 1998 for QMS; EMS & Product Cert. in Oct 2004 . Gives recognition in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam. This represents 54 economies

Conclusion Due to the strong technological component associated with competent conformity assessment, many developed countries have an inherent suspicion of products coming from developing countries and often insist on re-testing and/or inspection in their own country. The risk to the importer of being found to be supplying non-conforming product can be very severe. Globalisation can therefore be expected to increase the need for local conformity assessment systems to be accepted internationally.

Accreditation = Transparent and Impartial
Accreditation = Transparent and Impartial examination of the competence of a facility against a specific scope by an independent body. Without Accreditation ? Risk based on assumption How much risk ?

ROLE OF AIA’s IN PROMOTING & ENSURING A HEALTHY WORKFORCE
ME Ruiters Director: Occupational Health and Hygiene

IES Programme Overview
Mandate of DoL Aim for the regulation of the labour market, reduction of unemployment, poverty and inequality through a set of policies and programs developed in consultation with our social partners. These policies and programes are aimed at: Improving economic efficiency and productivity, employment creation, sound labour relations, eliminating inequality and discrimination in the workplace, alleviating poverty in employment, enhancing occupational health and safety awareness and improve compliance in the workplace, as well nurturing the culture of acceptance that “worker’s rights are human rights”.

DoL’s Vision Is to strive for a labour market conducive for Investment, Economic Growth, Employment Creation and decent work

Mission Regulate the labour market for sustainable economy through:
Appropriate legislation and regulation Inspection, compliance monitoring and enforcement Protection of human rights Provision of employment services Promoting equity Social and income protection Promoting social dialogues

Title of the OHS act To provide for the health and safety of persons at work and for the heath and safety of persons in connection with the use of plant and machinery; the protection of person other than persons at work against hazards to health and safety arising out of or in connection with the activities of persons at work; to establish an advisory council for occupational health and safety and to provide for matters connected therewith.

Duty of employers Section 8 of the OHS Act place the onus on employers to ensure that the working environment is safe and without risks to the health of their employees. In order to accomplish this, employers must through the services of a competent person assess the exposure of their employees to hazardous environmental conditions in the workplace.

Definition of an AIA? The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993), defines an Approved Inspection Authority as: An inspection authority approved by the Chief Inspector: Provided that an inspection authority approved by the Chief Inspector with respect to any particular service shall be be an approved inspection authority with respect to that service only

Definition: Occupational Hygiene AIA
According to the OH AIA brochure an AIA are defined as : “any person who with the aid of specialised knowledge or equipment or after such investigations, tests, sampling or analyses as he may consider necessary, and whether for reward or otherwise, renders a service by making special findings, purporting to be objective findings, as to - the exposure of any person; the safety or risk to health of any work, article, substance, plant or machinery, or any condition prevalent on or in any premises; or the question of whether any particular legislated standard has been or is being complied with, with respect to any work, article, substance, plant or machinery, or with respect to work or a condition prevalent on or in any premises or with respect to any other matter, and by issuing a certificate, stating such findings, to the person to whom the service is rendered.”

Role the AIA AIA’s are approved by the Department of Labour for compliance monitoring of specific stressors. AIA’s are thus performing functions as mandated by DoL and are rendering this function on behalf of DOL

Importance of interaction
Improved compliance with OHH standards and legislation requires: A team effort which entails an interaction between DOL (OHH Directorate and Inspectorate) and AIA’S OHH professional bodies This will lead to the early detection of hazardous conditions can significantly decrease the occurrence of adverse health effects, by reducing risks and therefore reducing occupational diseases

Thank You!

AUDIT FINDINGS B. Huna 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Introduction One of the strategic objectives of DoL is to strengthen social protection, whereby one of the key performance indicators is to reduce incidents and occupational diseases, hence the approval of AIAs to assist employers with technical expertise. Although there AIAs operating in industry, we have since realized that there are challenges within this system. 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Challenges within the AIA system
DoL acknowledges its failure to monitor the activities of AIAs. This has led to unethical behavior and abuse of the system by some AIAs; but We acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of those AIAs that are making a difference in the industry Difficult access to the premises of some AIAs. 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Failure to update DoL of changes within their organizations.
E.g. Resignation of the Occupational hygienist Working without relevant key personnel. Working outside the scope of approval. Abuse of the verification clause between AIAs Weighing facilities not conforming to standards 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Audit findings In 2010 DoL embarked on verification process for AIAs through C.I’s letter that was forwarded through SAIOH and audits that are being conducted. The audits have been an eye opener because it indicated that some of the AIAs have abused the AIA system and the trust entrenched/entrusted to them by DoL. 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Working outside the scope of approval
Some key staff members are not aware of the scope of approval for the AIA Some technical staff members unable to demonstrate competency in the use of technical equipment Service level agreements are not available Verification of work between AIAs 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Quality manuals not comprehensively prepared
No tracking system for updates on documents applicable to the scope of approval Quality manuals not comprehensively prepared Staff not knowledgeable on the contents of the quality manual Cross border migration of weighed filters Reports not signed as prescribed Corrective measures not in place for nonconformance and complaints 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna

Remedies Discussions within DoL led to a decision to standardize approvals for all AIAs to ensure that all activities are carried out uniformly for AIAs with the same scope of approval Audits which will include field visits in the secondary stage? Capacity building of occupational health and hygiene inspectors 20/05/2011 B.D.D. Huna
