ISO certification bodies are independent organizations that assess and certify organizations to ISO management system standards.
These bodies are authorized by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) to audit and certify organizations that have implemented an ISO management system and met the requirements of the relevant ISO standard.
The certification bodies are responsible for conducting audits and evaluating an organization’s management system against the requirements of the relevant ISO standard. They issue ISO certificates to organizations that meet the requirements of the standard.
