Inspection Accreditation
Ensuring Excellence in Inspection Services
Inspection plays a critical role in quality control, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation across various industries. ASCC USA provides accreditation for Inspection Bodies to ensure they meet international standards of competence, impartiality, and reliability.
Accreditation by ASCC enhances the credibility of Inspection Bodies (IBs), assuring stakeholders that their inspections are conducted with accuracy, consistency, and integrity.
What is Inspection Accreditation?
Inspection accreditation ensures that an Inspection Body (IB) operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17020, the international standard for the competence of inspection bodies performing testing and conformity assessment.
ASCC accredits Inspection Bodies that conduct third-party assessments, factory inspections, product verifications, safety checks, environmental audits, and more. This accreditation signifies that an IB follows internationally recognized procedures, delivering consistent, unbiased, and high-quality inspections.
