Current record
Use the schedule, not the badge alone.
Accreditation confirms that a body has been independently assessed for defined activities. The schedule is the practical document: it identifies what is covered, under which framework and within which boundaries.
For organisations, advisors and procurement teams in Italy, the correct check is not simply whether an accreditation mark appears. It is whether the service, standard, sector and location relevant to the intended engagement appear within the current scope.

Scope principle
A service should only be described as accredited when the relevant activity is included in the current accreditation schedule. Services outside that schedule should not be assumed to carry the same accredited status.
What it means
Four things accreditation should help you establish.
Accreditation is most useful when it helps a decision-maker evaluate the service rather than simply recognise a logo.
01CompetenceThe body is assessed against the requirements relevant to the accredited activity and the people performing it.
02ImpartialityControls are expected to protect independent decisions and manage conflicts that could affect the result.
03Defined scopeThe schedule sets boundaries around the standards, sectors, fields or activities covered by accreditation.
04Ongoing oversightAccreditation is maintained through continuing assessment rather than treated as a one-time marketing claim.
Scope navigator
Check the framework that matches the service.
Certification and inspection are different conformity-assessment activities. Select a route to see what should be confirmed before applying.
Accreditation route 01
Management system certification
Use this route when reviewing an ISO management system certification service. The accreditation framework and the particular standard must both match the intended certification.
Framework to checkISO/IEC 17021-1 and any scheme-specific or mandatory documents relevant to the standard.
Match within the scheduleThe requested standard, applicable technical sector or code, and any geographic or scheme conditions.
Relevant evidenceCurrent accreditation schedule, formal quotation, certification agreement and later certificate verification record.
Visitor actionConfirm the standard appears in scope before progressing from quotation to contract.
Important: a general certification capability does not automatically mean every management system standard is included. Check the current schedule for the exact standard.
Verification journey
Verify the accreditation in four practical steps.
This reuses the same process interaction as the homepage, but applies it to the decision users make on this page: confirming evidence before selecting a service.
Different frameworks apply
Certification and inspection are assessed under different standards and have different scope boundaries.
Correct verification route
You know which part of the accreditation schedule and which service page to review.
Select a numbered step or move through the verification journey.
What to check
The evidence changes with the decision you are making.
An applicant, a procurement team and an advisor may review the same schedule for different reasons. The page therefore supports each intent explicitly.
01Italian organisationsConfirm that the requested service and standard are included before submitting organisation and site information.
02International organisations in ItalyCheck that the chosen certification or inspection route fits the Italian operation and the wider multi-site scope.
03AdvisorsMatch the client requirement to the accredited scope before recommending a service or preparing an application.
04Procurement teamsRecord the accreditation number, current validity and exact scope evidence used during supplier review.
Accreditation
Assessment of the body and its defined activities.
Accreditation addresses competence, impartiality and the controlled performance of activities within an approved scope.
- Primary question: Is the provider assessed for this activity?
- Key document: Current accreditation schedule.
- Use it for: Provider and scope verification.
Recognition
How results are accepted or relied on more widely.
Recognition concerns the arrangements, directories and market contexts through which accredited results may be accepted or verified.
- Primary question: Where can the result be checked or accepted?
- Key route: Recognition and certificate-verification information.
- Use it for: Customer, tender and cross-border review.
Accreditation questions
Answers for organisations and advisors.
These answers focus on how to use accreditation information when deciding whether to apply.
What is the difference between an accreditation certificate and the scope schedule?
The certificate identifies the accredited organisation and status. The schedule provides the operational detail, including the activities, standards or fields that are actually covered. For a service decision, the schedule is normally the more important document.
Does one accreditation cover every TNV Global service?
No. Accreditation is activity- and scope-specific. Certification, inspection and other service types may sit under different frameworks, and not every offered service should be assumed to be accredited.
How should an organisation verify a particular ISO certification standard?
Confirm the management system standard and any applicable technical sector or scheme requirements against the latest accreditation schedule before accepting the quotation and certification agreement.
How is inspection accreditation different from certification accreditation?
Inspection activities are assessed under ISO/IEC 17020, while management system certification activities are assessed under ISO/IEC 17021-1. The methods, outputs and scope descriptions are different.
Where can a TNV-issued certificate be checked after issuance?
Certificate verification is a separate step from checking the certification body's accreditation. Use the verification route stated on the certificate and the relevant recognised directory where applicable.
