The world of certification and certifiers…
• The role of the International Standards Organization (ISO)…
• The role of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF)…
• The role of National Accreditation Bodies (NABs)…
• The importance of ISO 17021…

I thought all certifiers were the same?
• The lack of legal requirements creates loops holes…
• Some certifiers are woefully short of competence…
• Some certifiers misrepresent themselves…
• Verification of the authority behind the certificate is the
key!

The safe bet…
• Check the IAF website online for the respective NAB…
• Drill-down from the NAB website to find the Certifier…
• If it checks out, all well and good…
• Don’t be misled by claims of ‘International Accreditation’

In summary… you don’t need to gamble!
• Procurement professionals have a duty of care…
• A certificate of conformity isn’t valid until checked…
• It’s the same as checking references…
• Be confident and rest assured, by checking online.

And finally… there are two checks to make!
• One… check the International Accreditation Forum
(IAF) website to verify that the accreditation body
claimed is listed (e.g. UKAS)
• Two… check the website of the respective National
Accreditation Body to ensure the Certifier is listed
(e.g. the British Assessment Bureau)
