Do UKAF provide Consultancy on the implementation of quality management systems or technical issues?

UKAF does not provide any consultancy service.

What is the difference between accreditation and certification?

Certification is the process whereby a system, product or process is confirmed, through audit, to meet specific requirements. Accreditation is the third part of confirmation of an organisation’s competence and integrity to perform testing, calibration, inspection and certification services.

How do I check to see if an organisation is accredited by UKAF?

UKAF has a Directory of Accredited Bodies publically available on our website. Each organisation is listed with details on its scope of accreditation, location, contact details etc.

Can I purchase a standard from INAB? Where do I go to purchase a standard?

UKAF does not sell standards. Standards are available from www.standards.ie

How can I check if an accredited organisation is accredited for the scope of activity I need?

Log onto the UKAF website, and search the Directory of Accredited Bodies for your organisation.

If an organisation has resigned/withdrawn its accreditation with UKAF does that mean the certificate is not valid or recognised, even though it was issued when they were UKAF accredited?

Accredited test or calibration or inspection certificates/reports issued by a laboratory or inspection body are valid if the laboratory or inspection body is accredited at the time of the testing/calibration/inspection. Accredited certificates issued by a certification body are only valid within 3 months of the date of withdrawal of the certification body from the UKAF programme.
