International Accreditation Union’s vision is to achieve appropriate levels of quality product and service for consumers without the general public having to support (via higher prices), a weighty bureaucracy and administrative system(s) for the achievement of a level of quality that should be theirs by right.

Our mission is to establish International Accreditation Union as an authoritative organisation that provides guidance and direction for the achievement of Quality. Wherever possible, IAU will defer to, and utilize arrangements and organisations that already exist and will suggest alternatives only if inefficiencies, self interest, cartel or trust issues, or tardiness is perceived with existing institutions.
