This page is to objectively assist you in the selection of a registration body or registrar for certification of your organisation's management system.

Also, visit our page on changing the Registrar, may be of interest and beneficial in providing other relevant information.

For inclusion to our list a registrar - registration body must meet the following criteria: 

Customer Satisfaction - We have verified with client / customers, through either personal contact or phone conversation, level of satisfaction given prior to, during and throughout registration. Also we verify for other such as auditors meeting registrar requirements such as IRCA, RvA recognition, IPS, IEMA, BRS, UKAS, RABQSA, CEPA and others internationally recognised during assessment - audits.

Ethics -We have verified for issues or practices that are ethical assuring not jeopardizing your registration, such as; (a) performing audits with auditors in training and billing the organisation... (b) providing consulting or in-house training and registration to the same organisation, and (c) providing excessive number of audits in a period of 12 months (as ethics code dictates construe as consulting).

Note: If your organization provides certification and consulting as welll in-house training and advice, inclusive to a specific given region, please need not to apply for inclusion to the list of recommended registration bodies and registrars. The previously indicated actions may not fulfill the requirements of the criteria herein under ethics (and integrity). Equally applicable to direct of organizations conducting certification, affiliates such as part of holding companies.

Following the international accreditation requirements and scheme (see ISO/IEC 17021, ISO/TS 22003, ISO/IEC 27006 and other relating requirements such as ISO/IEC 17024:2003 - Listed are registrars and registration bodies that we have verified the integrity of the accreditation and which does not jeopardize your certificate of registration.

E.g. We verify that a Registration Body or Registrar's business units (of a centralized registration body) operations follows practices and operating criteria as set by International Standards).
