International Accreditation Forum (IAF)

The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is a global organization that oversees accreditation bodies, which assess and certify businesses or organizations against international standards. Accreditation ensures that these organizations are competent and trustworthy in their operations, such as quality management or environmental practices. By recognizing accredited entities, the IAF helps promote trade, enhances public confidence, and ensures that products and services are reliable and of high quality across borders. Essentially, the IAF helps maintain consistent quality and safety standards worldwide.
