Our accreditation programs are designed to help conformity assessment bodies demonstrate competence, consistency, and impartiality across a wide range of services. Through programs aligned with internationally recognized requirements, including ISO/IEC 17011 principles for accreditation bodies and applicable standards for laboratories, inspection bodies, certification bodies, and verification providers, we support organizations seeking credible recognition in domestic and international markets.

Each program follows a structured assessment process that emphasizes technical expertise, objective decision-making, ongoing surveillance, and continuous improvement. Whether an organization is applying for initial accreditation, expanding its scope, or maintaining existing recognition, our programs provide a clear pathway to strengthen trust, meet customer and regulatory expectations, and show commitment to quality, integrity, and reliable conformity assessment outcomes.

What We Evaluate

A rigorous accreditation review, on four dimensions

Each registrar is evaluated against the requirements that determine whether its certification outcomes can be relied upon — by clients, regulators and the wider marketplace.

01

Technical Competence

Qualification, training and sector experience of auditors, technical reviewers and decision-makers.

02

Audit Practices

Audit planning, time allocation, sampling, evidence collection and reporting discipline.

03

Decision-Making Integrity

Separation of audit from certification decisions, and defensible, documented outcomes.

04

Ongoing Conformity

Continuing conformity with applicable accreditation requirements between assessment cycles.

Why It Matters

Credible, comparable and internationally accepted outcomes

Accreditation helps ensure that registrars deliver reliable certification outcomes — giving certified organizations, regulators, customers and the marketplace greater assurance that certifications are credible, comparable and aligned with internationally accepted expectations for performance, risk management, continual improvement and accountability.
