Accreditation for Standards Development Organizations

Accreditation for Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) is a formal process that verifies these groups meet high-quality, impartial, and effective practices in creating standards. It ensures they operate transparently, follow consistent procedures, and include diverse stakeholder input. This recognition, typically granted by an independent accrediting body, boosts confidence that the standards produced are reliable, globally recognized, and promote safety, performance, and innovation across industries. Essentially, accreditation confirms that an SDO adheres to best practices, helping ensure the standards they develop are trustworthy and beneficial for public and industry use.
