Accreditation
Accreditation is an assurance measure in our industry to ensure that certification bodies have been assessed against international best practices and standards.
An accredited certification firm means that it has been evaluated independently by national and/or international reference bodies against pre-established competence and performance criteria. This will give you and your customers the assurance and confidence you need in your certificate.
