We are thrilled to announce that many DQS certificates are now accessible in the IAFCertSearch database, making it easier for clients, partners, and stakeholders worldwide to verify their validity. This achievement is due to our compliance with the IAF MD28 requirements, which ensure consistency and transparency in how accredited certification bodies manage and share their certified data.
What Is IAFCertSearch?
IAFCertSearch is the global database for accredited management system certifications, developed by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). By using IAFCertSearch, DQS provides a reliable and centralized validation source for clients and stakeholders, complementing the Certificate Validation on the DQS website and further preventing risks associated with counterfeit or invalid certificates. This enhanced visibility underlines DQS's reputation as a trusted and transparent certification provider worldwide.
Compliance with IAF MD28 Requirements
The IAF MD28 requirements, issued by the IAF, provide mandatory guidelines for the validation and inclusion of management system certificates in the IAFCertSearch database, facilitating their recognition and traceability worldwide. The cooperation of accredited bodies globally, along with the dedicated work of our Corporate Management Systems team, was instrumental in achieving this important milestone.
