MQA Accreditations
Accreditation refers to an independent & impartial attestation of the activities of a certification body to ensure the certification body’s competence, credibility, independence, and integrity in carrying out its assessment activities. As per ISO/ IEC 17000:2020, the formal definition of Accreditation is “third-party attestation related to a conformity assessment body, conveying formal demonstration of its competence, impartiality and consistent operation in performing specific conformity assessment activities”. In a simple way we can say that Accreditation Bodies audit the certification Bodies as per the specific ISO standard’s requirements and once accredited the certification Bodies then certification Bodies are performing third parties audits for different types of organizations in the world and issue certificates of registration. MQA understands the value of the accreditation process and that's why it's our company policy to achieve various accreditations for related services wherever possible.
