Looking back at 2023, it was a year marked by significant milestones and developments for EA. With the establishment of the EA Code of Conduct, reinforcing the principles of respect, non-discrimination, and brand protection, and the formulation of the EA Policy on EA-1/13, enhancing relationships with National Accreditation Bodies from non-EA countries, we saw notable progress. Additionally, we witnessed changes in membership with San Marino Accreditation Service joining the EA membership, and the conclusion of the European Quality Assurance (QA) Scheme for breast cancer services with the European Commission, aiming at ensuring the same quality for all breast cancer patients in Europe.
Looking ahead to 2024, continued efforts in harmonization are promising to shape the landscape further. As we navigate new territories in accreditation and conformity assessment with our members and stakeholders, our commitment to excellence remains steadfast, guided by collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision for the future.
