"voluntary accreditation" means any permission, setting out rights and obligations specific to the provision of certification services, to be granted upon request by the certification-service-provider concerned, by the public or private body charged with the elaboration of, and supervision of compliance with, such rights and obligations, where the certification-service-provider is not entitled to exercise the rights stemming from the permission until it has received the decision by the body.
"prostovoljna akreditacija" je vsako dovoljenje, ki določa pravice in obveznosti v zvezi z opravljanjem overjanja, ki ga na zahtevo zadevnega overitelja izda javni ali zasebni organ, pristojen za določanje pravic in obveznosti in za nadzor njihovega spoštovanja, če overitelj pravic, ki izhajajo iz dovoljenja, teh ne sme izvajati tako dolgo, dokler ne prejme odločbe organa.
