What are the differences between a centralised and a decentralised certification system?
In the centralised system the certification is carried out by auditors that act on behalf of the respective State. It guarantees unified and good quality standards, but in some cases the work load may turn into the delayed delivery of the final certification. In the decentralised systems the auditors are appointed directly by the Project Partners, following specific conditions aimed at ensuring that the auditor chosen is able to perform the check as the European regulations require. In this case the delivery of the certification is faster but the Project Partner must verify carefully the working standard and the accuracy of the certifying body. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
