IAS Accreditation for Management System Certification Bodies
  • Demonstrates compliance with ISO/IEC 17021
  • Provides the credentials that ensure certification marks will have acceptance in the marketplace and by governmental agencies that regulate service or product acceptance
  • IAS accreditation is accepted by regulators and the marketplace
  • Assurance of competence and best practices
  • Reduce duplication of audits by other third-party providers

Management System Certification Bodies accredited by IAS benefit from IAS’s recognition as Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) signatory with the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC).  Signatories are recognized worldwide based on the equivalency of their accreditation programs, therefore reducing costs and adding value to business and consumers.
