Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS)

About Accreditation?

Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS) is the national body with responsibility for accreditation in accordance with the relevant International Organization for Standardization ISO 9000 series of standards and guides.

Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS) co-operation with other accreditation bodies in Europe and globally through Multilateral Agreements (MLAs) means that certificates issued by Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS) accredited orga nizations are recognized internationally. Accreditation by Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS) delivers organizations and their customers with confidence in the product or service being offered.

Accreditation is a procedure in which certification of competency, authority, or credibility is presented.

The Benefits of Accreditationditation?

Confidence in the market place and in our public services is essential. Trust is placed in the products and services on offer often without a second thought by the customer, such are the regulations and standards against which products are manufactured and services provided.

For Government

There are many duties placed on government  departments, local authorities and other agencies to confirm that trust is maintained. Whether it is health, water quality, food, consumer goods or transport safety, for example, the public sector delivers the framework for the assurance that goods and services are safe and the environment we live in is clean and protected..

Accreditation by Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS) can also limit the need for government to regulate industry and the professions. It provides an alternative means of ensuring the reliability of activities that have the potential to impact on public confidence or the national reputation. Canadian International Accreditation Services (C-IAS), where requested, assesses organizations and recommends to government their appointment as Notified Bodies as required by EU Directives and Regulations.

For Business

Companies big and small buy independent evaluations either through choice (to reduce the risk of product failure for example) or as a consequence of legal requirements (such as health and safety regulations). Most commonly these evaluations are calibration of equipment, product testing, and inspection of equipment and certification of quality management systems.
