Accreditation Scheme for Conformity Assessment Program

This ICR includes information collection from accreditation bodies (ABs) who wish to obtain recognition from the Agency so that they can accredit testing laboratories (TLs) for the voluntary Accreditation Scheme for Conformity Assessment (ASCA) Pilot Program. The ICR also includes information collection from TLs who wish to obtain ASCA Accreditation from the Agency so that they can conduct testing under the ASCA Pilot. The ASCA Pilot Program, under section 514(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360d(d)), supports the Agency’s continued efforts to effectively use its scientific resources to protect and promote public health by simplifying certain aspects of premarket review, thereby reducing burdens on the Agency for individual submissions.
