UKAS

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the official accreditation body of the UK. It is formally recognized by the UK government, which (in real life) has made the only legal, recognized ISO accreditation body in that country. Its CEO is Matt Gantley. Details on the UKAS headquarters building are here.

UKAS represents the UK at the IAF, where it holds tremendous power.

ANAB is its competitor in the United States.

Why we report on these topics

Since 2000, Oxebridge has worked to improve ISO and related certification schemes by identifying problems and then proposing solutions. We report on issues affecting standards users because so few other news outlets do. Our belief is that in order to fix the problems in these schemes, we must first understand the nature and breadth of those problems. Our reporting aims to do just that. Elsewhere on the Oxebridge site you will find White Papers and other articles proposing ideas to correct these problems.
