Accreditation
Accreditation is process of assessment and audit of a Management System undertaken by an accredited Certification Body to verify it's conformance to the specifications of an International Standard.

Accreditation is a formal, third party recognition of competence to perform specific tasks. It provides a means to identify a proven, competent evaluator so that the selection of a laboratory, inspection or  certification body is an informed choice. AAB accreditation means the evaluator can demonstrate to its customer that it has been successful at meeting the requirements of international accreditation standards.

Accreditation is a symbol of assurance. The AAB symbol is a mark of quality and reliability. This gives certifiers, inspectors and their client organisations a competitive edge.
