Standards Intelligence
Monitoring and analysis of standards, criteria, regulations, changes and trends affecting management systems and technical trust.
International Accreditation Center · The reference center on accreditation
We watch over the seriousness of accreditation.
Serious, ethical and responsible — that is what accreditation must be. IAC observes, verifies and registers the evidence that sustains it: institutional schemes published with version and date, built on international standards, independent decisions, and a public registry anyone can check in one click.
IAC verification is not decorative: it requires a scheme, assessment, evidence, decision and surveillance. It does not replace ISO management system certification or accreditation bodies under ISO/IEC 17011.

Verification routes
Each object calls for a different assessment.
A person, a program, an organization and a method are not assessed the same way. IAC separates scope, evidence, audit and decision before publishing any result.
01
Verify a record
Check code, status, scope, validity, public evidence and limits of use.
Verify code 02Verify competence
Submit evidence of experience, training, technical judgment and performance for assessment. Application form available in Spanish.
Request assessment 03Verify a program or method
Present criteria, rubrics, evaluators, evidence and traceability for IAC review.
View criteria Verifiable registry
The decision is published with traceability.
The IAC Trust Registry does not create trust on its own: it publishes the traceability of a verification, recognition or validation decision that has already passed through assessment and sufficient evidence.
- Applicable IAC scheme.
- Documented assessment and evidence.
- Independent decision.
- Verifiable IAC code.
- Visible status, scope and validity.
- Public evidence and published limits.
Each record must answer the essentials: what was verified, under which scheme, with what scope, until when it remains valid and what evidence supports the decision.
Scope and limits
Usefulness depends on limits.
A serious verification states precisely what it covers, what evidence supports it and what remains outside. That discipline protects those who present evidence and those who rely on it.
What it confirms
- Criteria met under a published IAC scheme.
- A documented assessment or technical review.
- An institutional verification decision with scope, status and validity.
- A public or restricted registry searchable by code.
What it does not confirm
- It does not certify ISO management systems as a certification body.
- It does not replace accreditation bodies under ISO/IEC 17011.
- It does not turn a course or membership into automatic verification.
- It does not guarantee universal legal compliance.
- It does not publish sensitive data without consent and a documentary basis.
IAC verifies what it can substantiate — and registers it so the decision can be checked.
Process
From case file to checkable verification.
The process separates request, assessment, review, decision, publication and surveillance. That separation is what makes the result defensible.
- 01 Request The applicant submits scope, object, evidence and a declaration of intended use.
- 02 Assessment IAC reviews criteria, documentary sufficiency, competence, method and interpretation risks.
- 03 Review The review confirms that what was declared exists, works or can be demonstrated within scope.
- 04 Decision An independent function approves, conditions, observes, suspends or rejects the file.
- 05 Registry The result is published with code, validity, status, scope, evidence and limits.
Without sufficient evidence, there is no decision. Without an independent decision, there is no defensible verification.
Who it creates value for
Rigor for those who present. Clarity for those who decide.
IAC serves those who need to demonstrate real competence and those who need to confirm it before they trust. Application routes are currently processed in Spanish; verification is available in English.
Professionals
Auditors, consultants and specialists seeking verified competence under a defined scope.
Organizations
Institutions that need to demonstrate maturity, controls or traceability under an IAC scheme.
Programs
Academies, universities and technical centers seeking to verify method, assessment and evidence.
Third parties
Clients, partners, buyers and auditors who need to confirm status, scope and validity.

IAC Intelligence
AI with judgment, standards with evidence.
IAC Intelligence is the IAC technical layer for interpreting standards, risks, evidence and responsible AI use inside decisions that must remain verifiable.
AI accelerates. Standards give order. Evidence sustains. Professional judgment decides.
Evidence Mapping
Mapping requirements against policies, controls, records, audits, risks, indicators and documented evidence.
Audit Readiness Radar
Maturity reading to identify gaps before an assessment, audit or formal technical review.
Competence Intelligence
Traceability of professional competence: training, experience, performance, continuing development and declared scope.
Trust Registry Intelligence
Verifiable signals on status, scope, validity, limits, history and public evidence associated with each record.
AI Governance Lab
AI governance, risks, controls, documentation, responsible use and auditability of artificial intelligence systems.
The institution
An institution built to decide on evidence.
International Accreditation Center operates an architecture of schemes, assessment, review, decision and registry so that trust can be substantiated by third parties.
Objectivity
The decision rests on criteria, evidence and documentary traceability.
Impartiality
Assessment, training and decision must remain separate.
Competence
Evaluators work under a defined scope, method and responsibility.
IAC verification starts with evidence that can be checked.
Request an assessment, prepare the file and publish a verifiable decision with clear scope, validity, status and limits.
Public standards map
The standards we build on.
IAC schemes do not come out of nowhere. They are published with version and date, and take their discipline from the international standards that govern conformity assessment. A reference of discipline, not equivalence: each scheme declares its own limits.
ISO/IEC 17024
Assessing persons
The discipline for assessing the competence of persons: criteria defined in advance, impartial assessment and a decision kept separate from training.
ISO/IEC 17011 · 17040
Validation and peer assessment
The discipline for validating methods and organizing peer review: whoever assesses is also subject to review.
ISO 19011
Auditor competence
The international reference guideline for reading and assessing the competence of those who audit management systems.
ISO/IEC 27001 · 42001
Applied to ourselves
IAC demands of itself what it demands of others: it governs the security of its registry under the discipline of ISO/IEC 27001 and its own AI under ISO/IEC 42001.
Institutional doctrine
Trust demands truth that can be checked.
IAC does not register to project trust. It verifies when it can substantiate, and it registers so the decision can be consulted. That principle governs its schemes, assessments, reviews, decisions and public records.
