The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is a worldwide association of accreditation bodies and other bodies interested in conformity assessment in the fields of management systems, products, processes, services, personnel, validation and verification and other similar programmed of conformity assessment.

Their primary function is to develop a single worldwide program of conformity assessment which reduces risk for businesses and their customers by assuring them that accredited certificates and validation and verification statements may be relied upon.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 167national standards bodies.  

The Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ ) accreditation sends a clear message. It says your certification or inspection body can be counted on to perform its duties—in an authoritative and impartial way.

It flags that you have been approved by an independent third-party as a professional body that acts with integrity when certifying or inspecting for conformity assessment.

 The JAS-ANZ Register is used by a wide range of people and organisations, including those:

• assessing tenders
• conducting public procurement
• checking credentials throughout the market supply chain
• confirming if an organization, product or person has been certified or inspected by a JAS-ANZ accredited body.

The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) is a non-governmental organization that provides accreditation services and training to public- and private-sector organizations, serving the global marketplace. 

As an international non-profit association under Belgian law with an office registered in Brussels (Belgium), the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG)  was established in 1998 under the umbrella of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). In 2013,  the IAQG became an International Not-For-Profit Association under Belgium Law.

The IAQG sets the standard for quality within the worldwide supply chain of the aerospace industry. The organization is comprised of member companies within the aviation, space and defense industries that design, develop, manufacture and support original equipment at system or subsystem levels. 

Online Aerospace Supplier Information System® (OASIS) is an online resource containing a list of suppliers certified/registered under the IAQG rules to be in compliance with the aerospace quality management system requirements (9100 series). OASIS also contains all bodies involved in the process (i.e. National Accreditation Bodies, Certification Bodies and Authenticated Aerospace Experienced Auditors).
