Certificate check
Recognised accreditation bodies for ISO certificates
An ISO 9001 or ISO 13485 certificate is internationally recognised only when the certification body is accredited by one of these 93 bodies: the signatories of the IAF MLA (now Global ACI) and members of recognised regional arrangements. List as of 31 Dec 2025 (IAF final list; now Global ACI).
How to use this list. Find the accreditation body named or shown as a logo on the certificate. Then check that the certification body appears on that accreditation body's own website, with the standard on the certificate in its scope. You can also search many certificates on IAF CertSearch.
