Private Accreditation Framework for Functional Certification
SMG-AW operates a private accreditation and conformity recognition framework designed to qualify certification bodies, auditors, and assessment programs that focus on real management system performance rather than political accreditation branding.
Our accreditation programs are created to build working certification ecosystems, not logo-selling networks.

SMG-AW accreditation is a private accreditation recognition issued to certification bodies, auditors, and conformity assessment programs that demonstrate:
• Implemented system competence
• Documented audit methodology
• Qualified audit personnel
• Functional audit processes

SMG-AW accreditation is private accreditation and is not part of IAF / ILAC governmental accreditation frameworks.
