Certification is a fantastic business asset but we know there is sometimes a misunderstanding about certification, that governments deem it to be mandatory and that all certification bodies have to be accredited by a National Accreditation Body, when in fact accreditation remains voluntary

AFSR is the abbreviation of Assessment Forum for Standard Requirement, a private union of conformity assessment bodies and other bodies interested in conformity assessment in the areas of management systems, products, services, personnel and other similar conformity assessment programs. Its primary task is to develop a single, private compliance assessment program around the world that can help reduce the risk to businesses and their clients by ensuring they are trusted with private certificates. Accreditation assures users of the validity and impartiality of a valid body.
