Accreditation Council and agencies
The Swiss accreditation landscape consists of the Swiss Accreditation Council, which is responsible for accreditation decisions based on the HEdA, the Swiss Agency of Accreditation and Quality Assurance (AAQ) and other recognised agencies carrying out procedures according to the HEdA. The Accreditation Council is the AAQ’s supervisory body, acting as its executive committee and supervisory board. The Accreditation Council’s tasks are defined in the Organisational Regulations.

The Commission of AAQ is the decision-making authority of the AAQ in procedures on behalf of third parties (currently Quality Audit and evaluations) and is the authority of internal quality assurance in all procedures of the Agency. The legal basis is defined in Article 15 of the Organisational Regulations.
