Inspection Body Accreditation

Inspection organizations can access globally recognized accreditation programs from UKAC. A company’s USAB certification attests to its compliance with the international norm for inspection bodies and its legitimacy as an inspection authority.

UKAC guarantees regulatory compliance, customer demands are given priority, and accrediting organizations are required to oversee the work of third-party conformity assessment bodies in order to instill trust and confidence in those who rely on inspection, testing, and certification.

Reassurance that the relevant facilities, machinery, and systems are suitable for the task being done is given by inspection organizations. Inspection agencies evaluate services together with material assets to determine the safety of certain materials and goods.

UKAC accreditation serves as the inspection organizations’ evidence that they are conducting business in accordance with local, state, federal, and international norms and laws.

UKAC is accrediting the entities which are performing the Inspection Services as per the guideline of ISO 17020 in the following areas :
  1. Asbestos Surveys
