Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ)
JASANZ is an independent, third-party accreditation body established in 1991. We provide accreditation of conformity assessment bodies (CABs) in certification and inspection over five program areas: - Business and Innovation - Environment and Sustainability - Food and Biological Systems - Health and Human Services - Product Certification Accreditation by JASANZ demonstrates the competence and independence of these CABs. Accredited certification and inspection of products, processes and people—called conformity assessment—has a ripple effect through the market chain, right to the end-consumer. It gives consumers confidence that their purchases meet specified standards and are quality assured. This includes retailers, wholesalers and individual consumers. JASANZ is a signatory to a number of bilateral, regional and international agreements. These agreements provide international recognition and acceptance of JASANZ accredited certificates and inspection reports.
