BASC was formed in 2015 in the United States of America to accredit a range of international non-governmental certifying bodies that assess products, personnel and management systems.
We are proudly independent and free of political interference. With our global headquarters in the United States, we serve clients in over 70 countries worldwide, using internationally recognised conformity assessment standards. Our market strength lies in not being a government appointed accreditation body. We seek only to benefit our prospective partners and the public by processes of openness, simplicity and technical validation.
Certification is a fantastic business asset but we know there is sometimes a misunderstanding about certification, that governments deem it to be mandatory and that all certification bodies have to be accredited by a National Accreditation Body, when in fact accreditation remains voluntary.
