The US Accreditation process provides objective evidence that an organization operates at a high level of organizational, legal and technical standards.
US Accreditation bases its programs on internationally recognized standards in order to ensure worldwide acceptance of your accreditation.
The accreditation criteria have been developed by us to provide all interested parties with guidelines for implementing performance features of the applicable standards referenced in the accreditation criteria. The criteria were developed following public hearings conducted by the US Accreditation Committee.
