When searching for your country, be sure to search for “Global” as well as the name of your country. Some certification bodies are accredited to work globally. ***Due to a limitation of the search function, a search for a specific country name will not list all CBs with “Global” geographic scopes. To see a list of all CBs who work globally, please enter “Global” in the “geographic scope” search field.
