Who Can Be Accredited?
USAB (United States Accreditation Board) is a team of experts who help organizations ensure the quality and reliability of their products and services. We do this by accrediting conformity assessment bodies (CABs), which are organizations that provide testing, calibration, inspection, and certification services.
When a CAB is accredited by USAB, it means that they have met our rigorous standards for competence, impartiality, and consistency. This gives businesses and consumers confidence that the CAB’s services are reliable and trustworthy.
USAB accredited CABs operate in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, food and beverage, healthcare, and construction. They provide services to businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large multinational corporations.
Our team of experts is committed to providing a fair and transparent accreditation process. We want to help CABs improve their quality and performance, so that they can provide the best possible services to their clients.
If you are a business owner or manager, I encourage you to consider using USAB accredited CABs for your testing, calibration, inspection, and certification needs. USAB accreditation is a valuable tool that can help you to improve your business performance and protect your customers.”
