Accreditation is an independent evaluation of a conformity-assessment body against applicable competence requirements. A service being listed by a provider does not automatically mean it is within an accredited scope.
What organizations should confirm
- The legal entity issuing the certificate
- The accreditation body and applicable scope
- The standard, sector and territory covered
- The public method for checking certificate status
