No. ISO/IEC 17043 ensures that a provider fulfils the formal requirements for the organisation, performance and evaluation of EQA-Schemes.

However, the standard does not evaluate:

• Scientific reference expertise
• Many years of experience
• Ability to harmonise internationally
• Participation in the development of methods and standards
• Portfolio
• Customer Centricity

These aspects depend on the mission, expertise and scientific role of the respective provider.
