Our Accreditations & Associations

We continue to ensure that our extensive range of Industry-developed or management system-based schemes remain relevant to you as a certified professional. Our accredited certifications comply with international standards such as ISO and IEC. We ensure we hold accreditation with world-regarded bodies such JAS-ANZ. We choose accreditation of our systems from bodies that are members of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). The Forum’s purpose is to:

Bring together, on a worldwide basis, partner accreditation bodies and representatives of stakeholder groups that seek to facilitate global trade through the acceptance of accredited certificates of conformity.
Consult widely with stakeholders in developing programs and we work to deliver the best possible standard of conformity assessment in order to provide stakeholders with a value added outcome.
Influence world trade through linking and working with other key international organizations and industry groups.

More information on accreditation and the IAF can be found at www.iaf.nu.
