Quality & governance

Independent, impartial, and governed

AFFIRM CONTROL operates within the Affirm Verity Group quality framework — accreditations are held by specific operating entities within their scope, not by the brand.

Group quality framework

  • Inspection services are delivered under ISO/IEC 17020-aligned controls, defined scope, and impartiality safeguards.
  • Testing is coordinated through ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories and approved technical partners where applicable.
  • Independent and impartial assessments supported by governance, conflict-of-interest and reporting controls.
  • Codes, procedures, report controls and document governance support consistent delivery and clear client documentation.

Management-system certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) and inspection-body accreditation (ISO/IEC 17020) are held by specific Affirm Verity Group operating entities within their defined scope and jurisdiction. AFFIRM CONTROL operates within this group framework; accreditations are presented per holding entity, not as a single group-issued or AFFIRM CONTROL-issued certificate.
