Bureau Veritas now accredited to audit GECA scheme

Melbourne, Australia, December 11, 2017 – Bureau Veritas has achieved JAS-ANZ accreditation and has commenced auditing and certification for products and services seeking GECA certification.

GECA requires that all auditing companies, or Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs), assessing products and services for GECA certification be accredited with JAS-ANZ.

JAS-ANZ is the government-appointed accreditation body for Australia and New Zealand responsible for providing accreditation of CABs in the fields of certification and inspection.

“We are thrilled to have Bureau Veritas on board with us to conduct audits for GECA,” said GECA’s CEO, Kate Harris. “Having a third JAZ-ANZ accredited auditing company available means more room for GECA to grow, more competitive options for auditing available to our wonderful licensees, and ultimately a greater range of trusted certified products and services available on the market.”

“We look forward to working with such a well-respected conformity assessment body to certify products that drive sustainable consumption and production practices, both in Australia and internationally,” said Harris.

“We are very excited to be associated with the GECA ecolabelling scheme, which helps stakeholders make good choices in their purchasing decisions in the interests of clients and the environment,” said Sam Guindi, Product Certification Manager at Bureau Veritas. “The JAS-ANZ accreditation is an endorsement of Bureau Veritas’ competency, credibility and integrity in conducting GECA conformity assessment activities which provides confidence that we meet the highest standards in the industry.”
