Webster defines accreditation as the act of instilling trust or confidence, vouching for, recommending, and providing credentials, much like an envoy or ambassador.

In accordance with ISO17011:2004, accreditation signifies third-party attestation linked to a conformity assessment body, presenting a formal demonstration of its competence to execute specific assessment tasks.

Certification by the United Kingdom Accreditation Forum Certification (UKAFC) for Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) and Further Training/Educational Institutions serves as a formal demonstration of their ability to conduct specific certification, inspection, registration verification/validation, assessment, testing, calibration, and training/educational activities. This impartial assessment and acknowledgment of Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) and Further Training/Educational Institutions may enable accredited organizations to have their tests, examination reports, and certificates recognized as equivalent to those from organizations in other countries.
