Accredition

International Assessment Bureau is an independent certification body established to operate in line with the principles of ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, the international requirement for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems. Certification decisions are made by competent, impartial assessment teams who are kept separate from our sales and marketing functions, so that no certificate is issued without the standard's requirements being genuinely met.

Our certificates are currently issued on an unaccredited basis and do not carry a national accreditation body mark. An unaccredited certificate still reflects a full, independent audit against the relevant standard, but if your customer, regulator or tender process specifically requires an accredited certificate, please check their requirements before applying. We are happy to discuss our audit process and scope of certification with you – please see our Impartiality Policy and Management System Process pages for more detail, or contact us directly.
