Accreditation and verification
Certification bodies operating in the UAE are commonly accredited by EIAC, the Emirates International Accreditation Centre, which is a signatory within the International Accreditation Forum. What ultimately gives a certificate international standing is that the accreditation body behind it is an IAF member, which is also what makes the certificate verifiable on IAF CertSearch.

How certification works
- Choose the standard and scope
The scope statement decides what the certificate actually covers, so it is worth getting right before anything else. It names the activities, and the sites, that are being certified. - Submit your documentation
Your management system documentation is reviewed against the standard. Gaps are identified at this point rather than during the audit, which is where most delays otherwise occur. - Stage 1 audit
A readiness review. The auditor confirms that the system is documented, that internal audits and management review have taken place, and that you are ready to be assessed against practice. - Stage 2 audit
The implementation audit. The auditor tests whether the system described is the system being operated, by examining records and interviewing the people who do the work. - Certification and surveillance
Once any findings are closed, the certificate is issued and listed for verification. Certificates run on a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits to keep them valid.
