What the accreditation confirms

SAAC is the national accreditation body of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its accreditation confirms that TUV United Arabia meets ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, the international requirements for bodies that audit and certify management systems, together with ISO/IEC TS 17021-10:2018: Competence requirements for auditing and certification of occupational health and safety management systems.

In practice, this means our ISO 45001 audits are carried out by competent auditors, and certification decisions are made impartially, by people who were not involved in the audit.
