National Center for Integrated Studies and Research in Building (CNERIB) is a public institution of a scientific and technological nature, governed by Decree No. 11-396 of November 24, 2011, with its internal organization defined by an interministerial order dated 27 Ramadhan 1436, corresponding to July 14, 2015.
CNERIB strengthens its commitment to quality and adopts a continuous improvement approach to its quality management system, based on the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, while ensuring an effective transition to the latest version of the standard.
Having obtained accreditation from ALGERAC for two new scopes — “Tensile testing of reinforcing steel bars” and “Determination of the velocity of sound propagation in structural concrete” — as well as the renewal of the scope “Compressive strength testing of hardened concrete,” CNERIB is committed to:
- Increasing customer satisfaction in terms of quality, confidentiality, and test report delivery times;
- Ensuring compliance with customer requirements, the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, applicable regulations, and the requirements of the accreditation body;
- Continuously improving the competence of personnel involved in the accreditation process;
- Guaranteeing impartiality, independence, and objectivity in carrying out its activities in accordance with its code of ethics. In this regard, personnel must declare any situation that may affect these principles in order to take appropriate measures;
- Ensuring effective management of risks and opportunities within the established quality management system.
All personnel involved in the accreditation process are therefore required to contribute to the implementation of the quality management system, take ownership of the documentation, and strictly apply the applicable procedures with full impartiality.
To implement these commitments, the Center’s Management ensures the availability of the necessary resources and means.
