6. Understanding the Difference: Accreditation vs Certification

One of the most common misunderstandings in conformity assessment is the confusion between certification and accreditation.

Let’s clarify clearly.

6.1 Certification – What It Means

Certification is performed by a Certification Body (CB).

It is the process by which an independent third party provides written assurance that:

A product meets specified standards
A system complies with requirements
A process conforms to defined criteria
A person demonstrates required competence

Examples include certification against standards like:

ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems)
ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems)
ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety)
ISO 17024 (Personnel Certification)

Certification focuses on the organization, product, process, or individual.

6.2 Accreditation – The Higher Level

Accreditation is performed by an Accreditation Body, such as WYAB.

It is the formal recognition of:

Technical competence
Organizational capability
Impartiality
Integrity
Standard compliance

Accreditation assesses the Certification Body itself.

So the hierarchy looks like this:

Client → Certified by Certification Body → Certification Body Accredited by WYAB

In simple terms:

Certification confirms compliance.
Accreditation confirms competence of the certifier.

6.3 Why Accreditation Matters

Without accreditation:

Certification credibility may be questioned.
Buyers may demand additional verification.
International acceptance may be limited.

With accreditation:

Certification is trusted.
International confidence increases.
Market acceptance expands.

7. Formal Definitions

Accreditation

Accreditation is the formal recognition by an accreditation authority that a conformity assessment body is technically and organizationally competent to carry out specific tasks according to defined standards and technical regulations within its defined scope.

It enables:

Identification of proven evaluators
Informed selection of laboratories, inspection bodies, and certification bodies
Confidence in conformity results

Certification

Certification is the procedure by which a third party provides written assurance that a product, process, system, or person conforms to specified requirements.
