Many organisations confuse the word accreditation with certification. Certification Europe is an accredited certification body which provides International Organization for Standardization (ISO) management system certification and inspection services to organisations globally.

Accreditation is the process by which a certification body is recognised to offer certification services. In order to become accredited, Certification Europe is required to implement a quality management system which meets international standards. Certification Europe is audited annually to ensure its services meet the exact requirements of the relevant accreditation standards.

A certification body e.g. Certification Europe is accredited to issue iso 9001 certifications. Our clients are certified to ISO 9001 not accredited to the quality management systems standard.

ISO 9001 Certificates
As Certification Europe issues ISO 9001 accredited certificates they will be recognised worldwide by any level of organisation. Unaccredited certificates issued by other non-accredited bodies carry little credibility in the marketplace.

ISO 9001 Accreditation Bodies
Certification Europe undergoes continuous assessments by our accreditation bodies INAB (Irish National Accreditation Board) and UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service). Please visit these organisations websites to find out more about them.

The ISO 9001 quality management certification process involves two sets of audits.
