It is worth noting that:

The National Accreditation Bodies of all European countries must support the acceptance in their respective countries of the test reports, attestations and certificates issued by those bodies and laboratories accredited by the E.SY.D., and to recognize them as equal to the reports, attestations and certificates of the laboratories and bodies they have accredited themselves.

The above recognition is automatically extended on a global scale, through the bilateral agreements in force between the EA and the accreditation bodies of industrially developed countries (USA, Canada, Japan, China, Australia, etc.).
