Membership
Certification bodies and accreditation bodies can apply to be listed. Every applicant is reviewed against the same published criteria.
Listing criteria
To be listed, an applicant must meet all of the following:
- Operate as a certification body or accreditation body with a documented scope
- Hold valid accreditation from a recognized accreditation body, where applicable
- Provide current contact details and a public website or registration record
- Agree to notify IAD if your accreditation status or certification scope changes
- Agree to IAD's published Terms of Service for listed organizations
Fees and renewal
IAD operates as an independent, non-profit register.
- There is no fee to apply or to be listed on the register
- IAD is funded independently of the bodies it lists, so listings are not pay-to-play
- Listings are reviewed periodically and may be removed if information becomes outdated
