Veritas Assurance Accreditation EIAC (CB-099) & UAF (CB-52304640)

Veritas Assurance holds dual international accreditation: EIAC (Emirates International Accreditation Centre, Certificate No. CB-099) the Gulf region's primary accreditation body  and UAF (Certificate No. CB-52304640), which covers US-linked and broader international markets. Both accreditations operate under the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement, meaning ISO certificates issued by Veritas Assurance are recognized internationally in North America, Europe, the Gulf, and across Asia-Pacific. For Brampton businesses operating in global supply chains, this accreditation is the difference between a certificate that opens doors and one that simply checks a local box.
