Purchasers wishing to confirm the validity of an accredited certificate, report or statement should refer in the first instance to the conformity assessment body (CAB) shown on the document. If the address or website of the CAB is unknown, this can be found from an internet search or from the accreditation body whose mark should also be found on the certificate.

The list of all accreditation bodies that are Global ACI Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MRA) signatories is available here. In many cases, a link to the accreditation body’s online directory of accredited conformity assessment bodies is also provided with the accreditation body’s contact details.
