| Certification Body Identity Number | Mandatory | <p>UNIQUEID-CB01<br><strong>(This is a sample. Do not use this ID.)</strong></p> | Mandatory Field provided by the AB for internal use of IAF CertSearch. "CB Identity Number" is a unique identification for the CB. The "CB Identity Number" makes it possible to identify which CBs are in the AB network what data in the register belongs to the CB. When the AB uploads additional data in the future (i.e. accreditation data) the system will look up the "CB Identity Number" to maintain integrity of data. The "CB Identity Number" can be any alpha numeric number. |
