We exist to strengthen sustainability systems in forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, palm oil and other sectors, protecting trust in certification systems that safeguard people and the planet.
By combining technical and sector expertise with rigorous, impartial assessment and clear accreditation processes, we give clients a credible and transparent pathway to accreditation.
Our remit
ASI Accreditation was established in 2021 to provide credible, independent, and transparent accreditation of conformity assessment bodies (CABs) against applicable accreditation requirements.
We carry out our services in line with ISO and IAF requirements and comply with ISO 17011. Our approach is designed to give conformity assessment bodies clarity on what is expected throughout the accreditation process and independent recognition of their competence to carry out certification activities within their accredited scope.
In a world of increasing sustainability claims, ASI Accreditation strengthens confidence that trust in certification is earned, tested, and grounded in evidence.
