Certifying Bodies

Certifying bodies are organizations responsible for evaluating and confirming that products, services, or professionals meet specific standards or requirements. They conduct assessments, testing, and audits to ensure industry regulations, safety protocols, or quality benchmarks are upheld. Once criteria are met, they issue certifications or licenses, providing assurance to consumers, employers, and regulatory agencies that the entity complies with recognized standards. Examples include ISO for quality management, medical boards for healthcare professionals, and safety certification agencies for appliances. Their role helps maintain trust, safety, and consistency across industries.
