The mark that CMA testing institutions are qualified in measurement certification, and the institutions with this mark are legal testing institutions. Institutions engaged in social testing and inspection of products within the territory of China must be qualified by the national or provincial metrological certification management department in conjunction with recognized institutions, and can engage in testing and inspection activities only after being established or authorized according to law;
CAL has passed the mark of inspection organization recognized by national quality inspection, and the organization with this mark is qualified to make arbitration inspection conclusion. Having CMA mainly means that the testing personnel, testing instruments, testing basis and methods are qualified, and the premise of having CAL mark is that the measurement certification is qualified, that is, having CMA qualification, and then the quality management conditions of the organization also meet the requirements. Therefore, it can be considered that CAL is better than CMA only, and the working quality and reliability are further improved.
CNAS was approved by China National Accreditation Committee for Conformity Assessment, which was formed by the merger and reorganization of former China Certification Body National Accreditation Committee (CNAB) and China Laboratory National Accreditation Committee (CNAL), and supported international mutual recognition. Any of the above three marks is valid, especially the first mark CMA, which is the basic requirement of national laws for testing and inspection institutions.
