Accredited certification. Who’s checkin’ the checkers?
UKAS are the UK Government’s appointed accreditation body for management system certification.
When considering your choice of certification bodies, it’s worth checking with your supply chain (specifically your customers) in terms of the importance of a UKAS accredited certificate. The phrase ‘accreditation’ is widely used to somehow indicate authenticity, but in terms of management system certification, a certificate accredited by UKAS means that it is recognised by the UK’s Government and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
