The Program
The AAB program for assessing and accrediting certification/registration bodies is based on guidelines established by national, international, and regulatory committees such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), etc.
Accreditation
Although accreditation is not mandatory and remains voluntary, AAB accreditation ensures certification bodies are qualified to certify various management systems providing credibility and confidence for those organizations requiring accredited certifications.
