Verifying whether a company holds a valid ISO certification is a crucial part of risk management, supplier evaluation, and quality control. But how can you do it reliably?
IAF CertSearch, www.iafcertsearch.org, is a global database that provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of accredited management system certificates in the world. On the website, you can easily search and find out which valid certifications a company holds. The database is managed by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), a global network of accreditation bodies working to ensure that certifications are reliable and consistently applied according to uniform standards.
Through IAF CertSearch, you can also confirm that a company’s certificates have been issued by accredited certification bodies. Accreditation is a key part of the certification system. It means that the organizations issuing certifications—the certification bodies—are also assessed and approved. Accreditation verifies that a certification body operates according to international requirements and is both competent and impartial.
A company certified by an accredited certification body holds a certification that is internationally recognized and can be verified through IAF CertSearch, ensuring that standards are consistently maintained worldwide.
2.5 million certifications
Recently, the quality and security of the database were further strengthened through an updated standard for data management harmonization, called IAF MD 28. This update means that more than 2.45 million certifications, issued by over 2,300 certification bodies, have been uploaded to IAF CertSearch. This makes it easier for businesses and authorities to verify certifications across the global supply chain. By using the database, companies can not only ensure their suppliers’ compliance but also strengthen their own risk management and meet sustainability requirements.
