Standards and Schemes

The Standards section provides the ability to view and manage all standards uploaded under the Accreditation Body which are accredited to the Certification Bodies.

Note:

  • IAF CertSearch validates the Standards and Schemes data to match the certificate information uploaded by the accredited CBs with the AB Standards you have assigned to them.

  • IAF CertSearch also validates Standards and Schemes against the IAF MLA Standards to determine which certificates are accredited with IAF MLA.

  • Ensuring that you enter the exact data issued to your Certification Bodies helps with reducing data inconsistencies and data import issues.
