Most product certification bodies are based on the ISO manual (ISO / IEC / 65: 1996); It is an international standard for ensuring proficiency in those organizations that are granting product certification.
The organizations that make accreditation are called accreditation bodies, and are evaluated by global counterparts according to the ISO standard (ISO 17011) The accreditation bodies participating in the "International Accreditation Forum" agreement also ensure that there is multi-party approval for the product, as well as meeting the additional requirements set out in the guidelines for application of the ISO guide (ISO / IEC / 65: 1996).
Examples of “certification systems” include the Safety Equipments Institute for headwear, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program for radio communication equipment (TCB), the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program, and the International Commission for Product Safety Approval Rules Electrical (IEECE CB Scheme), MAS (Material Analysis Services), Green IEQ Certified Program, and Green Gard Indoor Environmental Quality Program.
"Certification systems" are usually written to include both performance testing methods that the product must be subject to and the criteria that the product must meet to become certified, and certificates (and certificates that certify their existence) are often called "certs" in the daily terminology of different industries.
