Eight European Accreditation Bodies attended the first benchmarking round. By means of the Process Maturity Benchmarking Tool (PMBT) a set of relevant processes was identified and analyzed using indicators based on data from data records and the maturity of the investigated processes. A Results-Workshop was conducted with experts from the accreditation bodies to identify best practices and discuss different modes of operation. T2 - 40.
