Accredia is Italy’s national accreditation body. It assesses and formally recognizes the competence of organizations that perform activities such as testing, inspection, and certification. Accreditation is different from product certification: it evaluates whether an assessment body is qualified to carry out its work.
In the context of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), Accredia is named in an Italian draft decree concerning national responsibilities. Accreditation can support trustworthy conformity-assessment processes, but the available information does not specify Accredia’s precise role under the draft. Manufacturers should follow the applicable CRA requirements and official procedures rather than assume that accreditation replaces their own product-security or reporting duties.
