How to verify a Company Certification?

PreviousManual Search by Certificate NumberNextCompanies

Last updated 11 days ago

Once the system identifies a match, you can access detailed certification information for the matched companies. This includes the certification status (active, suspended, withdrawn, expired) along with the associated standards and schemes. This process is initiated by clicking the Verify Certifications button.

Where can I verify the certifications?

Manual Search

Enter the certificate number directly in the search engine to verify a certification.

If no suggestions are provided, it may indicate one of the following:

  • The certification has not yet been added to the IAF CertSearch database.

  • The company name is restricted or confidential and not publicly available.

  • The certification has been removed from the IAF CertSearch database.


Certified Entity Profile Page

Navigate to the Certified Entity's profile and click the View Certification button.


After Matching

Once you've successfully matched an entity and obtained its certification information, click on the Verify Certifications to verify the details.


From the Companies' list

Access certification information directly from the Companies list.


From the Certification list

Verify certifications by selecting the relevant entry from the Certification list.

Things to Take Note of:

Multiple Certifications per Certified Entity

A Certified Entity may hold multiple certifications. We recommend reviewing the number of certifications you plan to verify to ensure you're aware of the potential charges.

Certification Charges

The system will charge you for verification whenever you access live certificate information, except during the Verification Access Grace Period. If you are within the 30-day grace period, you can access the record without consuming any credits.

If you believe that the certification you are trying to verify is valid but cannot find it in our database, please contact us using the following link: .
