Accreditation
Accreditation and Association
Integrated Assessment Services (IAS) serves organizations in the USA and across North America. We hold our own accreditation from Universal Quality Accreditation Service (UQAS), and we work alongside our group concern (technical partner), Empowering Assurance Systems (EAS), which is accredited by JAS-ANZ and is a CQI-IRCA Approved Training Partner.
How Our Certification Works
The standard you need decides which body certifies you. Certificates for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22000 are issued by EAS under JAS-ANZ accreditation, an IAF signatory. All other management system standards and product certification are certified by IAS under its UQAS accreditation. All training is delivered by EAS, and our lead auditor courses are CQI-IRCA certified.
Certificates are issued by IAS or EAS; they are not issued by a US body. Before you sign, we confirm in writing which body will issue your certificate.
