Import Certification Body Data from XML file

NOTE: Adding Certification Body via XML is recommended for bulk data import. If you want to update a single record or records not more than 10 certificates we recommend you use the Manual Data Entry. Prerequisites:

  • Clean and format data according to the IAF CertSearch data structure.

To update the Certification Body via Excel

  1. In the Certification Body Excel XML file, enter the data into their corresponding fields.
