What costs can an accreditation agency charge for an accreditation procedure?

According to the Fees Ordinance of the Swiss Accreditation Council (Articles 4 and 5), generally cost-covering fees are charged.

The fees are adjusted according to the size of the group of experts and the duration of the on-site visit. These flat rates do not include the costs for any conditional inspections; they are charged on the basis of the given workload.
