US Department of Education Standards

One of the cornerstones of GAFM's commitment to excellence is its alignment with
the top standards set forth by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE). The USDE

for the competence of certification bodies. By adhering to this standard, GAFM

and integrity in its certification processes.

ISO 17024 emphasizes impartiality, fairness, and transparency in the
certification process. It ensures that GAFM's certification programs are free
from any bias or undue influence, providing a level playing field for all
candidates. Furthermore, adherence to ISO 17024 requires GAFM to establish and
maintain strict governance and quality control mechanisms, ensuring the ongoing
reliability and credibility of its certifications. To make sure that all are
accommodated, the GAFM allows anyone who needs ADA Americans with Disability Act

educational offerings. The International Accreditation Organization Services
(IAOS) accreditation further enhances the credibility and recognition of this
certification. It signifies that the organization has been evaluated according
to rigorous standards set forth by the IAOS, guaranteeing the quality and
reliability of its learning services. This certification is particularly
valuable for institutions and organizations offering non-formal education, such
as training centers, vocational institutes, and continuing education providers.

ISO 21001 Certified - Accreditation:

ISO 21001 is a standard tailored specifically for educational organizations,
focusing on their management systems for educational services. It outlines
requirements for educational institutions to establish, implement, maintain, and
continually improve their management systems, ensuring they meet the needs and
expectations of learners and other stakeholders. The accreditation associated
with this certification adds another layer of assurance regarding the
organization's adherence to these standards. Accreditation confirms that the
educational institution has undergone a comprehensive evaluation process and has
demonstrated compliance with the ISO 21001 requirements, reinforcing its
commitment to quality education delivery.

importance of meeting customer requirements, continual improvement, and
adherence to statutory and regulatory requirements. The certification indicates

operational efficiency, and facilitating access to new markets for the

IAOS Accreditation

IOAS stands for the International Organization for Accreditation Services. It is
a non-profit organization that provides accreditation services to certification
bodies and conformity assessment bodies operating in the organic agriculture and
related sectors. IOAS accreditation is a mark of credibility and competence for
certification bodies that certify organic products and processes.

IOAS accreditation involves a thorough assessment of the certification body's
competence, impartiality, and compliance with relevant international standards
and guidelines, such as ISO/IEC 17065 and ISO/IEC 17021. Certification bodies
seeking IOAS accreditation undergo a comprehensive evaluation of their
procedures, staff competency, documentation, and management systems to ensure
they can effectively certify organic products according to established
standards.

Organizations accredited by IOAS demonstrate their commitment to upholding the
integrity and credibility of organic certification. IOAS-accredited
certification bodies are recognized internationally, providing assurance to
stakeholders, including consumers, producers, traders, and regulatory
authorities, that certified organic products meet stringent quality and
authenticity requirements.

Overall, IOAS accreditation plays a vital role in maintaining trust and
transparency within the organic industry by verifying the competence and
impartiality of certification bodies involved in certifying organic products.

IAS stands for the International Accreditation Service.

It is a non-profit accreditation body that provides accreditation services to
various types of organizations, including testing and calibration laboratories,
inspection bodies, certification bodies, and other conformity assessment
entities.

IAS accreditation involves an assessment process where the accreditation body
evaluates the competence, impartiality, and consistency of the organization
seeking accreditation. This assessment typically includes an in-depth review of
the organization's management system, technical competence, personnel
qualifications, equipment and facilities, and adherence to relevant standards,
regulations, or guidelines.

Organizations that achieve IAS accreditation demonstrate their ability to
consistently perform conformity assessment activities to recognized standards,
thereby enhancing their credibility and competence in the eyes of customers,
regulators, and other stakeholders. IAS accreditation also facilitates market
access by providing assurance that the accredited organization meets
internationally accepted criteria for quality and reliability.

IAS accreditation covers a wide range of sectors and industries, including
construction materials testing, environmental testing, product certification,
management system certification (such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001), and many
others. By obtaining IAS accreditation, organizations can distinguish themselves
as trusted providers of conformity assessment services, contributing to
confidence in the products, services, and systems they assess.
