Can anyone indicate the difference in relation to 9001/14001/18001 to companies being certified to the standard or accredited. I have had very conflicting advice on this. Does anyone know or point me in the direction to find out.
Thanks
Pete

ISO 9001 Standard is a Quality Managment System; ISO 14001 Standard is Environemntal Managment System and OHSAS 18001 is an Occupational Health and Safety Standard. Eventhough all three standard clauses are alligned to make these integrated but the requirement of all the standards are different to which it is applicalbe. I am a lead auditor of all the three standard and you can take trust me. If you have further clarification in detail send me an email.

Accreditation is a legal status. In a nutshell, if you are accredited you can certify and produce a register of certified companies. If you are certified you may also be registered, but you cannot certify other companies.

Thanks for those replies - I think I have it now.
We are a company who have been certified to those standards by an accredited body (such as BVC or LLoyds for example)

Rant over :)

Hi, UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service)Accredit 3rd part registration bodies such as Lloyds and BSI.
Lloyds and BSI provide certification against such as ISO9001. Therefore when an organisation gains certification from either Lloyds or BSI(for example)they have been certified by an Accredited assessment body (as oppossed to being accreddited by a non-accredited company)
