The Accreditation Process

Our step-by-step pathway provides clarity for Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) seeking accreditation, ensuring fairness, consistency, and international credibility.

Step 1 – Application

Organizations submit a completed application along with required documentation, detailing their scope of activities and compliance with relevant standards.

Step 2 – Application Review

GSAB reviews the application to confirm completeness, eligibility, and alignment with the requested scope. Clarifications may be requested at this stage.

Step 3 – Assessment Planning

A tailored assessment plan is developed, including selection of qualified assessors and scheduling of on-site or remote evaluations.

Step 4 – Document Review

Assessors review quality manuals, procedures, and records to verify conformity with ISO/IEC standards prior to on-site assessment.

Step 5 – On-Site/Remote Assessment

GSAB assessors conduct an in-depth evaluation of facilities, staff competence, processes, and implementation of management systems. Nonconformities, if identified, are documented for corrective action.

Step 6 – Corrective Actions

The applicant addresses any nonconformities by implementing corrective actions and submitting evidence of resolution for review.

Step 7 – Accreditation Decision

An impartial decision-making committee evaluates the assessment results and determines whether accreditation is granted, deferred, or denied.
