Preface
Referring to therecommendations of SAHMCI 5th Network Meeting, dated 25th October
2016 in Cairo – Egypt, and concerning the decision to “Approve the eligibility and readi-
ness criteria for certification bodies (CB), testing facilities (TF) and inspection bodies (IB)
in case they are not accredited according to ISO 17065 for CB or IB and ISO 17025 for TF,
SHAMCI network empowers the national certification body to verify that IB and TF meet
the eligibility criteria at the assigned country as in Annex I. The Network decided to have
such Criteria annexed to SHAMCI certification rules”;
The following survey is aimed at collecting data about the readiness criteria of the quality
bodies concerned with implementing SHAMCI Certification Scheme at the national level.
The survey is designed according to the previously mentioned Annex I: Readiness Cri-
teria for SHAMCI, Certification Body – Testing Facility – Inspectors of SHAMCI
