URS certification can now offer ISO 50001:
provides a framework for industrial facilities seeking to manage their energy use.
Certification under the standard could help explain to customers and suppliers how a company is tracking—and ideally reducing—its energy use, something that could provide a competitive advantage, especially if and when a price is put on carbon emissions.

Accredited certification delivers real added value
by IAF Communications and Marketing Committee

The findings of the survey confirm that businesses are generating significant benefits and added value from accredited certification. Not only is it being used as a tool to deliver internal business improvement and to meet regulatory compliance, but businesses confirm that it has a positive effect on revenue. Given that the majority ofbusinesses that responded to the survey (57%) employed less than 249 people, accredited certification clearly benefits small to medium sized organisations, as well as large multinationals. Nearly all of the businesses that took part in the survey (91%) selected an accredited certification body, providing an assurance that these organisations have the required competence and impartiality to do so as evidenced by fulfilment of international standards and requirements.

How important are certification bodies?
Over 90% of those who took part in the survey confirmed that their certification body was accredited by a recognized accreditation body, with nearly three quarters stating that accreditation was either essential or very important in their line of business. Only 3% reported that accreditation was not important. When asked about the importance of the certification being covered by the IAF Multilateral Recognition Agreement (MLA), 35% stated that the acceptance of their certification in overseas markets was very important.
