Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) typically seek accreditation to demonstrate their competence and adherence to specific procedures and standards. One prominent accreditation body is the International Accreditation Service (IAS), which provides accreditation based on criteria such as AC803¹². This accreditation involves an assessment of the SDO’s standardization process, procedures, and management system².
In the United States, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredits SDOs that follow a consensus-based process³. This ensures that the standards developed are the result of a transparent, balanced, and inclusive process.
Accreditation helps SDOs validate their ability to consistently develop high-quality normative documents, enhancing trust and credibility in their standardization efforts².
