Why is UKAS Accreditation so important?

Why is UKAS Accreditation so important?

There are many Certification Bodies on the market to audit your organisation and choosing the right one is a vital decision to ensure peace of mind and credibility.

Unlike many industries, there is no mandatory regulatory body for certification bodies, meaning there is no protection or recompense for those who make the wrong choice. Checking that you are working with a UKAS Certification Body will ensure that your hard-earned resources are not wasted on certification that may not be recognized by your customers.

In 2010 the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) was appointed the UK government as the sole National accreditation body in accordance with EU legislation to assess against internationally agreed standards.

UKAS accreditation involves a lengthy and rigorous analysis of policies and procedures and if successful, provides an assurance that the highest standards of service delivery are met and consistently maintained.

What are the benefits?  

Selecting a UKAS accredited Certication Body such as ForeFront Certication takes the risk out of your service procurement. It also offers confidence that due diligence, evidence of best practice and an internationally recognized standard(s) such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 have been met.
