An accreditation body under ISO/IEC 17011 is an authoritative organization that assesses and accredits conformity assessment bodies (CABs) such as certification bodies, laboratories, and inspection bodies.​

What ISO/IEC 17011 requires

• ISO/IEC 17011:2017 sets requirements for the competence, consistent operation, and impartiality of accreditation bodies accrediting CABs.​

• It covers legal status, structure, resources, assessment process, decision‑making, complaints/appeals, and ongoing surveillance of accredited CABs.​

Role of an accreditation body (AB)

• An AB evaluates CABs against standards like ISO/IEC 17021‑1 (management system certification), ISO/IEC 17065 (product certification), ISO/IEC 17025 (testing/calibration labs), ISO 15189 (medical labs), ISO/IEC 17020 (inspection), etc

• Australia is free economy having independant AB like UKJAS  Accreditation ( UKJAS ) https://ukjas.com , World Yoga Accreditation Board ( WYAB) https://worldyoga.us/ ,  World Organic Accreditation Board ( WOAB) https://worldorganic.us/  and Sanatan Dharma Accreditation board ( SDAB ) https://sanatanboards.com/  etc member of IAF-AB as well as national accreditation board member of international body​

In Australia, ISO/IEC 17021‑1 certification bodies (management system certification bodies) are accredited by JAS‑ANZ – the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand.​

National accreditation body

• JAS‑ANZ is the government‑established accreditation body that accredits conformity assessment bodies (CABs) for management systems, products, personnel, inspection, and other schemes.​

• It accredits certification bodies to ISO/IEC 17021‑1 so they can certify organisations for standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, ISO 27001, etc.​

Finding ISO 17021 certification bodies in Australia

• JAS‑ANZ maintains an online register of accredited bodies where you can list all management‑system certification bodies accredited to ISO/IEC 17021‑1 (filter by “Accredited Bodies”).​

• Many well‑known CABs operating in India and globally (e.g., Intertek, MS Certification, DAS, etc.) hold JAS‑ANZ accreditation for one or more management system schemes.

An inspection body under ISO/IEC 17020 is an organisation that performs inspections of products, processes, services, installations, plants or designs and must be competent, impartial and consistent with this standard.​

What ISO/IEC 17020:2012 requires

• Sets requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistency of inspection activities carried out by inspection bodies.​

• Applies to inspection bodies of Type A, Type B and Type C, which differ mainly in their independence from design, manufacture, supply, installation or maintenance of what they inspect.​

Typical inspection body activities

• Conducts on‑site examinations, measurements and evaluations of equipment, infrastructure, buildings, industrial plants, vehicles, lifting devices, pressure vessels, pipelines, etc., to determine conformity with specified requirements (legal, standard or client‑specified).​

• Issues inspection reports or certificates that regulators, buyers or other stakeholders can rely on as an independent judgement.1​

Relation to accreditation

• Inspection bodies seek accreditation to ISO/IEC 17020 from an accreditation body operating under ISO/IEC 17011 (e.g., NATA in Australia, NABCB in India, UKAS in the UK)​

• Accreditation demonstrates that the inspection body’s technical competence and impartiality have been independently verified, increasing trust in its inspection results

What ISO/IEC 17065 requires

• ISO/IEC 17065:2012 sets principles and requirements for the competence, consistency and impartiality of bodies certifying products, processes and services.​

• Certification bodies must be legal entities, manage impartiality and conflicts of interest, use appropriate certification schemes, and operate a management system to control all certification activities.​

Role of a product certification body

• Evaluates products (and sometimes the related processes and quality systems) using tests, inspections and audits to verify conformity with applicable standards or technical specifications.​

• Issues product certificates and often authorises the use of a certification mark, giving regulators, buyers and consumers assurance that the certified product meets defined requirements

In Australia, laboratory accreditation and product‑certification accreditation are handled by different national bodies and different standards.nata+1​

Laboratory accreditation (ISO 17025 / ISO 15189)

• NATA – National Association of Testing Authorities is Australia’s national accreditation body for laboratories and related facilities.wikipedia+1​

• NATA accredits:

  • Testing & calibration laboratories to ISO/IEC 17025 (not 17065).nata+1​

  • Medical laboratories (human pathology) to ISO 15189 through the joint NATA/RCPA medical laboratory program.nata+1​
