The EA MLA Mark is not an ordinary mark. It is a collective European & international mark that reflects a shared commitment by all NABs signatories to the EA MLA to competence, transparency, harmonisation, and the specific role and value of the European Accreditation system.
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which entered into force on 1 January 2026, is a climate policy tool designed to prevent carbon leakage and ensure fair competition between EU and non-EU producers.
EA published the document EA-3/02 EA Policy for the Accreditation of Certification Bodies Providing Certification of PDO1, PGI2 and TSG3 on 13 January 2026.
