Applicant journey
Ready to become
accredited?
Understand the IASCB route from first conversation to an accreditation decision, and prepare with confidence.
Before you apply
Accreditation is a
public commitment.
IASCB accreditation is for organisations that provide defined conformity-assessment or certification activities and want their competence, impartiality and consistency independently assessed.
Start by identifying the services and standards you want included in your scope. Our team can help you understand the applicable requirements before you submit a formal application.
Review requirements →The process
Four steps to a
clear decision.
Every application is assessed on its own evidence and defined scope. The exact timing depends on your readiness, complexity and the activities requested.
Submit your application
Provide the completed application, documented procedures, scope information and supporting evidence for an initial review.
Assessment & findings
IASCB assessors review your systems, competence and implementation. Findings are shared clearly so they can be addressed.
Decision & ongoing assurance
An independent decision is made. Accredited bodies then maintain requirements through surveillance, reassessment and continual improvement.
Prepare well
