The report does not explain what impacts a more commercial approach by NABs from other CPTPP countries to work done by British Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) may have on independent conformity assessment in the UK and on the role of CABs in the statutory protection of human, animal or plant life or health, animal welfare, and the environment. In order for UKAS to best serve its public interest role in relation to these statutory protections, accreditation of CABs in the UK should remain impartial and free from commercial pressure.
