The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board helps ensure the safety and quality of goods and services, in protecting the environment, and to facilitate international trade and eliminate the expense of redundant audits and tests. It provides accreditation services under the ACLASS, ANAB, and FQS brands. ACLASS provides accreditation for calibration and testing laboratories, inspection bodies, reference material producers, proficiency testing providers, and numerous industry-specific programs. ANAB assesses and accredits certification bodies that demonstrate competence to audit and certify organizations conforming to management systems standards. FQS provides accreditation to forensic testing agencies through Florida-based Forensic Quality Services Inc., a nonprofit membership organization that also offers a variety of training, workshops, and academic programs.
