What is the role of an accrediting body?
An Accreditation Body is a recognised organization within a set industry that provides formal assessment services. The assessment once passed displays a formal certified third party recognition of competence and conformity of the assessed company to perform specific tasks.

The primary benefit of a company holding accreditation is that it increases trust with consumers. By going through the accreditation process and gaining the approval certificate, our customers can immediately see that our business is committed to maintaining high-quality, ethical standards and ongoing is audited thoroughly to ensure continued compliance and conformity.
The use of Third Party Certificated providers is strongly recommended by Government in guidance documents
“Third-party certification schemes for fire protection products and related services are an effective means of providing the fullest possible assurances, offering a level of quality, reliability and safety that non-certificated products may lack. Third-party quality assurance can offer comfort both as a means of satisfying you that goods and services you have purchased are fit for purpose, and as a means of demonstrating that you have complied with the law.”
