In Bangladesh there are few certification bodies who provide accredited certificate from UKAS, ANAB, JAZ-ANZ, CNN, ASCB, DAC, AIAC etc. If your certificates are accredited then simply go to those accreditation body’s site and follow the above 4 steps to verify ISO Certificate.
Usually the the accreditation body’s name is in the certificate along with certificate no and expiring date. If you do not find the accreditation body name from the above list then you may assume that the certificate is not accredited.
If your certificate is not accredited then you can go to the certification body’s web site to check your ISO Certificate. If you are not sure who is your accreditation body and who is your certification body then simply ask your vendor or company to know the AB and CB name along with their website.
