Slovenska akreditacija

What Slovenska akreditacija does

Slovenska akreditacija is Slovenia's sole national accreditation body, established as a public institution (javni zavod) under the 1999 Law on Accreditation. It operates in compliance with ISO/IEC 17011:2018 and EU Regulation 765/2008, functioning as the government-designated authority for attesting the competence of conformity assessment bodies (CABs). The institution is headquartered in Ljubljana-Črnuče with 26 employees and serves 248 currently active accredited organizations across testing laboratories, calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, product/management system/personnel certification bodies, validation and verification bodies, EMAS verifiers, and medical laboratories.

Its core offering is a portfolio of accreditation services rather than a software product. Each accreditation type follows an international ISO/IEC standard (e.g., SIST EN ISO/IEC 17025 for testing and calibration, SIST EN ISO/IEC 17020 for inspection, SIST EN ISO/IEC 17065 for product certification, SIST EN ISO 15189 for medical laboratories). Supporting the services is a web-based accreditation and document management system, alongside a suite of regulatory documents (S03 rules, S05 logo usage, D05 assessment guidelines, OB05 application forms). The institution also runs an annual Dan akreditacije event and participates in the MOS trade fair alongside the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport.

The business model is fee-based, governed by formal pricing regulation (S10 - Pravilnik o oblikovanju cene storitev Slovenske akreditacije), with revenue from application fees, initial assessments, surveillance assessments, and renewal fees structured as multi-year recurring contracts. Slovenska akreditacija holds full signatory status in the EA Multilateral Agreement, ILAC MRA, and IAF MLA, enabling international mutual recognition of accreditations issued in Slovenia. As of 2026, leadership transitioned with Marko Radak succeeding Boštjan Godec as director.
