About Us

International Accreditation Registrar (IAR) was formed in 2017 in the USA to accredit a range of international non-governmental certifying bodies that assess products, personnel, and management systems.
Our core competency is evaluating IT-related Services systems security and compliance effectiveness like Customer Support, Virtual Auditing, and certifications.

We are a proudly independent non-profit organization. With our global headquarters in the United States, we serve clients in over 50 countries worldwide, using internationally recognized conformity assessment standards. Our market strength lies in not being a government-appointed accreditation body. We seek only to benefit our prospective partners and the public by processes of openness, simplicity, and technical validation.

• IAR  is a full member of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This organization oversees the creation, promulgation, and use of thousands of norms and guidelines worldwide. Please check the ANSI Website Roster for further information.

• We also offer the International Register of Certificated Auditors (IRCA) Certified Training Courses.

Certification is a fantastic business asset but we know there is sometimes a misunderstanding about certification, that governments deem it to be mandatory and that all certification bodies have to be accredited by a National Accreditation Body, when in fact accreditation remains voluntary.
