Who accredits, who certifies, who audits.
Three organizations stand behind an accredited certificate, each with a separate role. The accreditation is held by SMG, not by IAF Consultancy.
SMG certifies
SMG holds the accreditation, makes the certification decision, and issues the certificate. Its accredited certificates are limited to the scope above.
IAF Consultancy audits
We carry out the third-party audit and can recommend certification when the audit supports it. A recommendation is not the certificate.
