About Us

Founded in 2017 in the United States, International Accreditation Registrar (IAR) provides accreditation services to a wide range of international, non-governmental certification bodies assessing products, personnel, and management systems.

Our core expertise is in evaluating IT-related service systems, with a special focus on Customer Support, Virtual Auditing, and Compliance Certifications.

IAR operates as an independent organization, with its global headquarters in the USA and clients across more than 50 countries.
We apply internationally recognized conformity assessment standards to all our evaluations.

Our strength lies in our independent status — we are not a government-appointed accreditation body.

At IAR, we focus on promoting openness, simplicity, and technical excellence in all our processes, delivering value to our partners and the wider public.

"Independent Accreditation. Global Confidence."

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.
