What is ISO/IEC 17021-1 accreditation?

ISO/IEC 17021-1 sets the requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems, such as quality (ISO 9001), environmental (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), food safety (ISO 22000), medical devices (ISO 13485), energy (ISO 50001), information security (ISO/IEC 27001), and artificial intelligence management systems (ISO/IEC 42001). Accreditation is independent third-party assessment of your certification body against that standard, carried out by an accreditation body operating to ISO/IEC 17011. For your clients, and their customers, it distinguishes a certificate issued under accreditation from one issued without it. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ISO/IEC 17021-1 overview.

What does accreditation cover?

Each accreditation is defined by a schedule setting out the standards and activities in scope, together with the sector-specific requirements that apply to particular schemes, and every ASCB accreditation is publicly searchable at ascb.com. Where a published standard exists for an activity, ASCB applies it directly, without proprietary additions; where one does not, a bespoke scheme can be developed for the purpose.

How does the process work?

Accreditation is granted in stages, summarized here from ASL(G)29, Summary Procedure for ISO 17021-1 Accreditation:

1. Application on form ASL(F)02, with evidence of legal entity status. The terms of engagement and applicable fees are provided with the application invitation, before any commitment.
2. Stage 1 document review of your full ISO/IEC 17021-1 documentation set, together with the profiles of personnel involved in assessment and certification. An optional self-assessment tool helps the assessor locate your evidence and speeds the review.
3. Provisional accreditation when the document review meets ASCB's criteria, with public listing on ascb.com and an account on the IRQAO register for the certificates you will issue.
4. Assessment of your certification activity as delivered: witnessing an audit on site, witnessing remotely, detailed review of the complete records of completed audits, or a combination, determined on a risk basis.
5. Intermediate or full accreditation on a successful outcome, publicly searchable on ascb.com, with risk-based surveillance across the cycle.

Where operations do not follow the procedures reviewed at stage 1, full accreditation is not granted.

How accreditation then operates across the cycle is described in the Resource Center: How ASCB accreditation works.

How much does ISO/IEC 17021-1 accreditation cost?

The fees are set out in ASL(G)72, Fee Rates, below:

• Application fee: $1,640, covering up to two certification standards. Scope extension application: $550.
• Annual administration fee: $1,640, discounted each year by the certification fees paid to ASCB in the prior 12 months, up to 100 percent, so an active certification body can reduce it to nil.
• Assessor day rate: $700, with the number of days depending on scope, certification types and key locations. Traveling time is not chargeable; travel and accommodation are at cost.
• Certification fees per certificate issued: as an accredited body you register every certificate you issue on the IRQAO register at the time of issue, and a certification fee is payable for each, on initial issue and at each annual surveillance, at a country-based rate. The full country table is in ASL(G)72, and certificates covering multiple standards, including integrated (IMS) certificates, incur the fee for each standard assessed. This applies to every certificate issued under your accreditation, from the first.

Quotations are issued in US dollars; ASCB can quote and invoice in pounds sterling or euros for applicants in the United Kingdom or the Eurozone. Fees carry no presumption of the outcome, and where rates change the current ASL(G)72 prevails.

What is ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation?

ISO/IEC 17020 sets the requirements for the operation of bodies performing inspection, covering their impartiality, independence, competence and consistent operation. Accreditation is independent third-party assessment of your inspection body against that standard. For your clients, and their customers, it distinguishes work delivered under accreditation from work delivered without it. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ISO/IEC 17020 overview.

Which edition of ISO/IEC 17020 applies?

The current published edition is ISO/IEC 17020:2026, published and effective March 27, 2026. Under the three-year transition, assessments may continue to be conducted against the 2012 edition during 2026, 2027 and 2028, with a transition deadline of March 2029. The editions classify inspection bodies differently: the 2012 edition uses Types A, B and C, while the 2026 edition classifies bodies as Type A and Type non-A. Your type, and the impartiality and confidentiality arrangements for it, form part of the assessment.

How does the process work?

Accreditation is granted in stages, summarized here from ASL(G)54, below:

1. Application on form ASL(F)51, the Inspection Body Application, with the application fee. The terms of engagement and applicable fees are provided with the application invitation, before any commitment.
2. Compliance basis: the applicant maintains a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001, or its own system that at a minimum achieves the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020.
3. Document submission: your manuals and procedures, including your inspection body type and the impartiality and confidentiality arrangements for it, the types of inspection performed, for example design evaluation, proving, technical file examination or physical test, and your contract terms for inspection clients.
4. Document assessment, with amendment and response where needed before the next step.
5. Assessment of your inspection activity as delivered: witnessing an inspection on site, witnessing remotely, detailed review of the complete records of completed inspections, or a combination, determined on a risk basis.
6. Accreditation, subject to a successful witness and closure of any corrective actions, publicly searchable on ascb.com.

However conducted, accreditation is decided on what the assessment finds, and on nothing else.

How accreditation then operates across the cycle is described in the Resource Center: How ASCB accreditation works.

How much does ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation cost?

Inspection body fees are assessed case by case against the scope applied for, the inspection types, locations and complexity, so the fee reflects the assessment work actually required:

• An application fee applies.
• Assessor day rates apply to assessment activity, with travel and accommodation at cost.
• A detailed quotation is provided before you commit to anything: the applicable fees accompany the application invitation together with the terms of engagement.

Quotations are issued in US dollars; ASCB can quote and invoice in pounds sterling or euros for applicants in the United Kingdom or the Eurozone.

What is the next step?

Inspection body fees are quoted against your scope, so the natural first step is pricing: use the Contact page and choose "I have a question about applying for accreditation", stating your inspection types and locations. There is no charge for the conversation and no obligation to proceed.

The application form, ASL(F)51, is below, together with the guide ASL(G)54 and the Considering ASCB Accreditation, Inspection edition; the form asks you to define your inspection scope and type. Complete it and follow the instructions it carries. The terms of engagement accompany every application invitation, before any commitment.

What is ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation?

ISO/IEC 17024 sets the requirements for bodies operating certification of persons. Accreditation is independent third-party assessment of your personnel certification body and its schemes against that standard. Assessment is currently conducted against ISO/IEC 17024:2012 and ISO/IEC 17024:2026.

ISO/IEC 17024:2026 was published in March 2026 and a three-year ASCB transition applies, with arrangements confirmed to applicants during the process. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ISO/IEC 17024 overview.

Is personnel certification the right scheme, or is training accreditation the better fit?

ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation is primarily intended for bespoke personnel certification schemes: schemes that certify individual people and carry continual monitoring or CPD obligations, rather than the basic provision of training. Where your activity is training delivery at a provider or individual course level, ASCB's separate training accreditation scheme, under ASCB TP:2025 and TC:2025, may be the better fit, and ASCB can advise which route suits your activity.

How does the process work?

Accreditation is granted in phases, summarized here from ASL(G)74, below:

1. Application on form ASL(F)40. The terms of engagement and applicable fees are provided with the application invitation, before any commitment.
2. Document assessment of your ISO/IEC 17024 personnel management system documentation and core quality assurance components, including the recorded competence of the scheme's providers.
3. Provisional accreditation, with registration of your personnel certification services, listing on ascb.com, and an account on the IRQAO register for registrant and certificate listing.
4. Full accreditation on verification of your certification services and management system implementation, which may entail witnessing, review of registrant feedback, or other surveillance activity, by physical visit or remote assessment.
5. Registrant registration: every certificate recipient is registered on the IRQAO register at the time of issue, as a requirement of accreditation.
6. Surveillance on a risk basis through the accreditation cycle, including sampling of registrant feedback.

How accreditation then operates across the cycle is described in the Resource Center: How ASCB accreditation works.

How much does ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation cost?

Personnel certification body fees are set out in ASL(G)63, with two options selected at the discretion of the certification body:

• Option 1, per registrant: $1,560 per year, plus $78 per scheme or active course accredited, plus $13 per year for each standard registrant in the scheme. Registrant fees are paid via the IRQAO register, where the listing of all registrants is a mandatory part of continued accreditation.
• Option 2, whole body: $8,840 per year, with no per-scheme or per-registrant fees.
• It is possible to commence with Option 1 and transition to Option 2 later.

Quotations are issued in US dollars; ASCB can quote and invoice in pounds sterling or euros for applicants in the United Kingdom or the Eurozone. Where rates change, the current schedule prevails.

What is the next step?

Ready to apply? The application form, ASL(F)40, is below, together with the guide ASL(G)74 and the Considering ASCB Accreditation, Personnel Certification edition. Applicants should be ready to show how each scheme is developed and validated and how examinations are secured and marked; complete the form and follow the instructions it carries.

What is ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?

ISO/IEC 17025 sets the requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories. Accreditation is independent third-party assessment of your laboratory against that standard, alongside a quality management system appropriate to the laboratory. For your clients, and their customers, it distinguishes work delivered under accreditation from work delivered without it. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ISO/IEC 17025 overview.

Does ASCB accredit medical laboratories as well?

Yes. Test and calibration laboratories are assessed against ISO/IEC 17025, and medical laboratories against ISO 15189. The application routes differ only in the form: ASL(F)50 for test and calibration laboratories, ASL(F)62 for medical laboratories.

How does the process work?

Accreditation is granted in stages, summarized here from ASL(G)51, the Guide and Summary Procedure for Test and Calibration or Medical Laboratory Accreditation, below:

1. Application on form ASL(F)50 (test and calibration) or ASL(F)62 (medical). The terms of engagement and applicable fees are provided with the application invitation, before any commitment.
2. Document review of your manuals, procedures and forms against ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO 15189, together with your quality management system, with amendment and response where needed.
3. Provisional accreditation when the document review meets ASCB's criteria, with listing on ascb.com.
4. Activity in practice: you conduct your test, calibration or medical laboratory activity and provide the records of that work. Where you have been operating for some time, existing records may serve.
5. Assessment of your activity as delivered: witnessing laboratory activity on site, witnessing remotely, detailed review of the complete records of completed work, or a combination, determined on a risk basis.
6. Full accreditation on a successful outcome, listed and publicly searchable on ascb.com with listing on the international register at irqao.com, and risk-based surveillance, with sampling that scales with the laboratory’s activity.

How accreditation then operates across the cycle is described in the Resource Center: How ASCB accreditation works.

How much does ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation cost?

Laboratory fees are set out in ASL(G)52. The fee policy recovers the costs of accreditation activity through an application stage and an ongoing levy scaled to the laboratory's activity, so ongoing costs stay in proportion to your own revenue:

• Application fee: $2,340, covering the application and its administration, with a per-standard fee of $78 where more than five standards are applied for.
• Assessment days: assessor day rates apply, with the number of days depending on scope and location; travel and accommodation are at cost.
• Ongoing accreditation, commercial laboratories: an annual fee scaled to turnover, $1,640 on the first $100,000 of turnover, with a rate of 0.1 percent applying to turnover above $500,000. Non-commercial and government laboratories can be assessed on test volume instead.

Many variables affect the cost of assessing a laboratory, so these figures are a general guide; ask for an accurate quotation for your scope. Quotations are issued in US dollars; ASCB can quote and invoice in pounds sterling or euros for applicants in the United Kingdom or the Eurozone. Where rates change, the current ASL(G)52 prevails.

What is the next step?

Ready to apply? The application form, ASL(F)50, is below, together with the guide ASL(G)51 and the Considering ASCB Accreditation, Laboratory edition (medical laboratories apply on ASL(F)62); complete the form and follow the instructions it carries.

What is ISO/IEC 17029 accreditation?

ISO/IEC 17029 sets the general principles and requirements for bodies performing validation and verification (V&V) as a conformity assessment activity. Accreditation is independent third-party assessment of your body against ISO/IEC 17029 and the applicable validation or verification standard for your programs. For your clients, and their customers, it distinguishes work delivered under accreditation from work delivered without it. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ISO/IEC 17029 overview.

Does this cover greenhouse gas verification?

Yes, and it is the most prominent program. Where your declared scope includes validation or verification of greenhouse gas information, emissions, removals or related claims under ISO 14064-3, ASCB assesses your competence, impartiality and operational controls against the applicable requirements of ISO 14065 in addition to ISO/IEC 17029, for that portion of the scope. The program family continues to grow, ISO 14064-5:2026 on remote verification of greenhouse gas statements being a recent example, and as new validation and verification standards are published they can be brought within an accreditation's scope through the scope extension process.

How does the process work?

Accreditation is granted in stages, summarized here from ASL(G)95, the Summary Procedure for ISO/IEC 17029 Accreditation, below:

1. Application and review on the VVB application form, ASL(F)95. Once the application is accepted for assessment, the application administration fee and assessment day rates are invoiced. The terms of engagement and applicable fees are provided with the application invitation, before any commitment.
2. Legal and organizational status: evidence of legal entity status, and demonstration of independence and impartiality, including governance structure, impartiality risk assessment, and safeguards against conflicts of interest, including consultancy activities.
3. Document review of your ISO/IEC 17029 management system documentation: validation and verification procedures, impartiality and confidentiality arrangements, competence management, records control and reporting. Corrective actions are required where gaps are identified.
4. Provisional accreditation where the review is satisfactory, with listing on ascb.com as a provisional validation and verification body.
5. Operational evidence and witness: you conduct validation and verification activity under your approved procedures and submit records and reports from completed engagements, with witness assessments remote or on site. Where activities do not align with approved procedures or ISO/IEC 17029, accreditation may be denied or restricted.
6. Decision and surveillance: the decision may be provisional, intermediate or full, listed on ascb.com with any applicable scope limitations, and surveillance is risk-based.

How accreditation then operates across the cycle is described in the Resource Center: How ASCB accreditation works.

How much does ISO/IEC 17029 accreditation cost?

Validation and verification body fees are set out in ASL(G)96:

• An application administration fee.
• Assessment and surveillance day rates, invoiced once the application is accepted for assessment.
• Statement fees: issued validation and verification statements are registered on the IRQAO register per ASCB requirements, and a fee is payable for each, at a country-based rate collected through the register. The full country table is in ASL(G)96.

A detailed quotation for your scope is provided before you commit to anything: the applicable fees accompany the application invitation together with the terms of engagement.

What is ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation?

ISO/IEC 17065 sets the requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services. Accreditation is independent third-party assessment of your product certification body against that standard. For your clients, and their customers, it distinguishes a certificate issued under accreditation from one issued without it. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ISO/IEC 17065 overview.

What does product certification demonstrate?

Product certification demonstrates a product's ability to meet the general safety requirement and the specific requirements of a product standard. Certification rests on three demonstrations: adequate design, evidenced through the product's technical construction file; adequate manufacture and manufacturing environment, evidenced through quality assurance records and the management system behind them; and adequate inspection and test against the documented product standard and applicable directives and regulations. Accredited product certifiers are expected to demonstrate awareness, knowledge and intimacy with the relevant product standards and the legal requirements of the nations their clients' products are distributed to.

How does the process work?

Accreditation is granted in stages, summarized here from ASL(G)15, below:

1. Application on form ASL(F)56, the Product Certification Application, with the application fee. The terms of engagement and applicable fees are provided with the application invitation, before any commitment.
2. Compliance basis and document review: the applicant complies with ISO/IEC 17065 and maintains a management system that supports it, either one addressing the general management system requirements of ISO/IEC 17065 directly or one in accordance with ISO 9001, both routes recognized by the standard. You send your manuals and procedures for operation as a product certifier; ASCB reviews and comments, with amendment where needed.
3. Provisional accreditation when the document review meets ASCB's criteria, with listing on ascb.com.
4. Certification activity in practice: you conduct product certification activity and provide the records of that work.
5. Assessment of your activity as delivered: witnessing certification activity on site, witnessing remotely, detailed review of the complete records of completed work, or a combination, determined on a risk basis.
6. Full accreditation and registration on a successful outcome, listed and publicly searchable on ascb.com.

How accreditation then operates across the cycle is described in the Resource Center: How ASCB accreditation works.

How much does ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation cost?

Product certification body fees are set out in ASL(G)90, ISO/IEC 17065 Fee Rates:

• Application fee: $1,640, covering up to two certification standards, with $550 for each additional conformity standard. Scope extension assessment: $550.
• Annual administration fee: $1,640, discounted each year by the certification fees paid to ASCB in the prior 12 months, up to 100 percent, so an active body can reduce it to nil.
• Assessor day rate: $750, with the number of days depending on scope, conformity standards and key locations. Traveling time is not chargeable; travel and accommodation are at cost.
• Certificate fees per product certificate issued: once accredited, you register each product certificate on the IRQAO register, and a fee is payable for each, at a country-based rate collected through the register. The full country table is in ASL(G)90, and certificates covering multiple products incur the fee for each product assessed.

Quotations are issued in US dollars; ASCB can quote and invoice in pounds sterling or euros for applicants in the United Kingdom or the Eurozone. Where rates change, the current ASL(G)90 prevails.

What is ASCB TP:2025 training provider accreditation?

ASCB TP:2025 is a published standard against which ASCB accredits the organization that delivers training. Accreditation against ASCB TP:2025 is independent third-party assessment of the systems behind the training: how training needs are identified before a course is commissioned, how courses are designed and delivered, how trainers are selected and managed, and how courses are evaluated and the results fed back. It applies to structured training in any sector, delivered in a classroom, live online, by eLearning or in blended form, and to an organization training its own people as much as to a commercial training company. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ASCB TP:2025 overview.

Why accredit a training provider?

Training is one of the least regulated purchases an organization makes. Anyone can run a course and issue a certificate, and the certificate itself says nothing about what sits behind it. Accreditation against a published standard changes what that certificate means. The provider’s systems behind it have been assessed by an independent body, and the accreditation can be checked by anyone at ascb.com.

For a commercial training provider, that is a distinguishing feature in a market where every provider claims quality and few can evidence it. For an organization training its own people, it is evidence that the training budget is run as a managed system rather than an annual cost, and it tells existing staff and prospective recruits that development is taken seriously enough to be assessed independently.

Can internal training be accredited, or only commercial training providers?

Internal training can be accredited, and it is one of the main uses of the standard rather than an exception. ASCB TP:2025 starts at Type 1, which is a single business function delivering training to its own people, and runs up through Type 2 for a corporate training department to Type 3 for an organization whose primary business is training. An employer that trains its own staff is assessed against the same published standard as a commercial provider, at the type that matches the scale of the operation.

What is the difference between accrediting a training provider and accrediting a course?

Provider accreditation under ASCB TP:2025 assesses the organization and the systems it runs its training through. Course accreditation under ASCB TC:2025 assesses an individual course: its design, its materials, how it is delivered and how learners are assessed. The two are separate accreditations and either can be held on its own, although every ASCB TP:2025 accreditation includes at least one course assessed against ASCB TC:2025. Many organizations start with a single accredited course and extend to provider accreditation as the value shows.

How much does ASCB TP:2025 accreditation cost, and how do I get a quotation?

Fees are quoted individually rather than published as a single price list, because the standard is tiered to the scale of the training operation and that scale determines how much assessment sampling is required. To give you an accurate quotation, ASCB asks four questions:

1. How many delegates or students do you train per year by live delivery, in person or virtual?
2. How many delegates or students do you train per year by eLearning?
3. How many active courses would you provide? An active course is one delivered or offered in the last 12 months.
4. Which courses would be accredited, and what are their durations?

Send your answers through the Contact page and ASCB will come back with a quotation. Quotations are issued in US dollars; ASCB can quote and invoice in pounds sterling or euros for applicants in the United Kingdom or the Eurozone. Both the quotation and the terms of engagement are confirmed before your application is formally accepted, so you can read everything before committing to anything.

What is the next step?

The natural first step is pricing: use the Contact page and choose "I have a question about applying for accreditation", including your answers to the four questions above, and ASCB will come back with the route and the cost for your operation. There is no charge for the conversation and no obligation to proceed.

If you would rather read first, the guide to provider accreditation, ASL(G)77, and the Considering ASCB Accreditation, Training edition are below. When you are ready to apply, ask for the application form, ASL(F)87.

What is ASCB TC:2025 training course accreditation?

ASCB TC:2025 is a published standard against which ASCB accredits an individual training course. Accreditation against ASCB TC:2025 is independent third-party assessment of the course itself: the training need it was built to meet, its design and learning objectives, the learner and trainer materials, the delivery method, how learners are assessed, how the course is version controlled and improved, and how fairly and accessibly it is run. A course can be accredited on its own, through the Individual course module, or as one of the courses held by an accredited training provider. A plain-English summary of what the standard requires is in the Standards Library: ASCB TC:2025 overview.

Why accredit a training course?

A course certificate is only as good as the checking behind it, and a buyer comparing two courses has almost nothing to compare. Accreditation against a published standard gives the buyer something checkable: the course has been assessed against requirements that are published and can be read, by a body that had no part in building it.

ASCB TC:2025 also looks past the end of the course. It draws on Kirkpatrick Level 3 and Level 4 evaluation, which ask whether the learning was applied back at work and whether it changed anything, rather than stopping at attendance and a completion rate. That is the part of the training argument that a finance director asks about and most course certificates cannot answer.

Does ASCB accreditation certify the learner?

No. ASCB accredits the course and, under ASCB TP:2025, the provider that delivers it. ASCB does not examine, test or certify the individual learner, and does not state that a person is competent. What the learner receives is a record on the IRQAO register that an accredited course was completed, carrying a validation document with a QR code that an employer or a buyer can check, free, in seconds. The record is of completed training, not of competence.

Does an accredited course satisfy a regulatory or qualification requirement?

Not by itself. Where training is tied to a statutory scheme, a licensing scheme or a named awarding organization, that requirement has to be met in the way the scheme sets out, and ASCB accreditation does not substitute for it. For the majority of training that is not regulated in that way, accreditation is a voluntary mark of the disciplines behind the course, and whether it serves a particular purpose is confirmed with the body setting the requirement. ASCB recommends that check is made before applying rather than after.

How much does ASCB TC:2025 accreditation cost, and how do I get a quotation?

Fees are quoted individually rather than published as a single price list, because the standard is tiered to the scale of the training operation and that scale determines how much assessment sampling is required. To give you an accurate quotation, ASCB asks four questions:

1. How many delegates or students do you train per year by live delivery, in person or virtual?
