Management System Certification
Certification bodies accredited by IACAB under ISO/IEC 17021-1 certify organisations against the management system standards below.
Management system certification provides independent assurance that an organisation has implemented a system that conforms to a recognised management system standard. It helps organisations meet stakeholder needs and expectations, facilitating their entry into local, regional and international markets.
IACAB assesses certification bodies against ISO/IEC 17021-1 — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems — examining their impartiality, the competence of their auditors in each technical sector, and the consistency of their audit and certification decisions.
