New listing page: All Imported Data

To ensure compliance with MD requirements, Certification Bodies (CBs) can now review and access all their issued certifications, even if they were imported into the IAF CertSearch database via an Accreditation Body (AB) or scheme owner database.

All certification data is automatically accessible by the CB account as long as the certification is issued by the Certification Body.

What you need to know?

There are several terms that you need to be aware of:
