WHAT IS

Accreditation?

Accreditation is the foundation of trust for any certification body.
It ensures that the services we deliver are carried out correctly, consistently, and impartially. Through accreditation, our work is independently assessed to confirm that we meet the highest international standards — giving our clients confidence that their certification is both credible and globally recognised.

Why Accreditation Matters to You

Every detail matters in a certification process

Not all ISO 22716 certificates are equal. Choosing an accredited certification body means:

  • Your certificate is accepted worldwide by regulators, retailers, and buyers
  • You avoid the risk of having to redo audits with a properly accredited CB later
  • You gain supply chain trust and recognition from the start
  • You know your audit has been carried out with consistency, impartiality, and competence

OUR Accreditation Process

Like our clients, we are also subject to a rigorous audit and approval process. Our accreditation journey includes:

Step 1

APPLICATION SUBMITTED

We’ve submitted our full application to the accreditation body, including all governance, impartiality, and system requirements.

Step 2

AUDIT

The accreditation body conducts an in-depth audit of our processes and management system to verify compliance with ISO/IEC 17021.

Step 3

PROVISIONAL ACCREDITATION

Once the audit is completed, we will be granted provisional accreditation, allowing us to: Begin conducting ISO 22716 audits Issue certificates under provisional status Build a 6-month track record of audits for review

Step 4

WITNESS AUDITS

The accreditation body will observe our auditors conducting real client audits, ensuring consistency, impartiality, and technical competence.

Step 5

FULL ACCREDITATION

Following successful witnessed audits and final review, we achieve full accreditation. From this point, all certificates carry full, permanent accredited status.

Step 6

ONGOING SURVEILLANCE

After accreditation, we remain under continuous oversight. The accreditation body reviews us annually to confirm we maintain the same high standards.

What This Means for Clients

You don’t have to wait — audits can begin under provisional accreditation. Certificates issued now will seamlessly transition to fully accredited status once final approval is granted. Your business gains early mover advantage with accredited ISO 22716 certification.
