Accreditation
We have chosen to become accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service or UKAS. UKAS are one of the most respected accreditation bodies in the world and as such a certificate bearing their logo, the crown and tick, is held in high regard.
To become accredited by UKAS, a certification body must be assessed themselves against the high standards set out by UKAS, meaning that you and your clients can be assured that your certification demonstrates high quality and impartiality.
Non-accredited Certification
There are many certification bodies in the UK and overseas that are not UKAS accredited or accredited by any recognised, government appointed body.
Increasingly, buyers and procurement specialists are rejecting non-accredited certificates in the tenders and bids they receive.
A common reason mentioned for seeking a non-accredited certification is a cheaper price but in fact our experience has shown that non-accredited certification can cost the same if not more that an accredited certification.
