ISO Accreditation Bodies
At OCS (Oriental Certification for Standardization), we take pride in our commitment to meeting international standards of excellence, safety, and quality. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards are recognized worldwide, ensuring that organizations like ours adhere to the best practices across a variety of industries. Here’s an overview of the key ISO accreditations that we hold, showcasing our dedication to maintaining the highest levels of quality, environmental stewardship, safety, and sustainability.
What Are ISO Accreditation Bodies?
Accreditation Bodies are official organizations that verify and authorize certification bodies (the ones that issue ISO certificates) to make sure they are competent, impartial, and operate according to international standards.
In other words:
ISO creates and publishes standards (like ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.).
Certification Bodies (like SGS, Bureau Veritas, or TÜV SÜD) inspect and certify companies according to those ISO standards.
Accreditation Bodies supervise those certification bodies to ensure their work is credible and globally recognized.
So accreditation bodies are the “watchdogs” that guarantee certification processes are trustworthy and follow international rules.
For Example
ISO writes the rulebook (e.g., ISO 9001 for quality).
Bureau Veritas (a certification body) checks your company and gives you an ISO 9001 certificate.
UKAS (an accreditation body) audits Bureau Veritas to make sure it is competent to issue that certificate.
If your ISO certificate is issued by a certification body accredited by a recognized accreditation body (like UKAS), it means your certification is officially valid and internationally accepted.
