Traditionally industry, trade, business, and professional associations as well as chambers of commerce have played and will continue to play a significant role as a critical link between entrepreneurs and the government. The contributions of these various associations thought to be immense in terms of securing the general acceptance of industry standards, encouraging and enforcing codes of ethics, , and increasing the economic welfare of members and individuals. Same is the case with the Conformity Assessment Bodies who wish to offer conformity assessment services where an established Standard/ Guide is not available. In order to satisfy these requirements, ACCAB, in consultation with the Technical Advisory Committee will decide on the suitable accreditation criteria keeping the relevant stakeholders interest in mind.
