Dear Stakeholders and Business Partners,
Recently, it has been observed within the certification industry that certain organizations are making “fraudulent accreditation” claims by unauthorized use of the names and logos of international authorities, such as the International Accreditation Service (IAS). Official warnings published by the IAS (see: IAS False Claims) have once again highlighted the necessity for all companies to remain vigilant to preserve the environment of trust in our industry.
Transparency and Trust: Our NAC Accreditation
At DeviCert, we have operated with full transparency and unwavering commitment to ethical principles since our foundation. In response to the misinformation prevalent in the sector, we would like to formally share our company’s accreditation status with our valued partners:
- Accreditation Body: DeviCert is a conformity assessment body accredited by the NAC (National Accreditation Center).
- Scope of Authority: Our organization has been audited and authorized to provide certification services under the ISO/IEC 17021-1 standard (Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems).
Why Should You Obtain “Accredited” Certification?
Fraudulent or unaccredited certificates are often deemed invalid during customs procedures, official tenders, and on international trade platforms. The NAC-accredited certificates you receive from DeviCert:
- Are recognized and accepted internationally.
- Prove that your management system is audited according to global standards.
- Protect your business reputation against legal and commercial risks.
How to Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Claims?
To verify the claims of a certification body, we recommend the following:
- Request the organization’s official accreditation certificate.
- Verify the company’s name and scope through the official website of the accreditation body (e.g., NAC).
- Monitor updated announcements from international platforms (such as the IAF).
As DeviCert, we continue to provide reliable and high-quality services, drawing strength from our NAC accreditation and our full commitment to the ISO/IEC 17021-1 standard.
Best Regards,
DeviCert Board of Directors
