Accreditation body or certification body?

Answer:
Each country has an unique national accreditation body, and it tends to be a public entity, generally related to the government, so unless you are an entity of this type, you cannot be an accreditation body. Different is the certification body, which can issues certificates to companies and each country can have various entities of this type.

So, you can be a certification body in your country (like SGS, Bureau Veritas, BSI, etc.), and certify companies (ISO 27001, ISO 9001, etc), although you need to comply with requirements established by the accreditation body, so certification bodies become accredited by accreditation body.

Finally remember that our business is related to the implementation of ISO 27001 in any type of business, and if you want to be a certification body, can be interesting for your company to have a perspective from the implementation point of view, and for this, our templates can be interesting for you.
