How to Choose a Certification Body
Selecting the right Certification Body (CB) is a critical decision for any organization seeking international recognition of its management systems. A CB should be:
- Impartial – free from conflicts of interest, ensuring unbiased certification decisions.
- Competent – with auditors and inspectors trained to evaluate against international standards.
- Transparent – providing clear rules for logo use, certificate validity, and traceability.
- Aligned with Standards – operating in line with ISO/IEC 17021‑1 principles for certification of management systems.
- Accessible – offering flexible solutions such as remote audits and inspections to meet modern organizational needs.
- Credible – ensuring certificates are traceable and verifiable, strengthening stakeholder trust.
By evaluating a CB against these criteria, organizations can ensure their certification adds genuine value and global recognition.
