Accreditation

EGAC-accredited. IAF MLA-recognised.

CAS is accredited by Egypt’s national accreditation body as a certification body under ISO/IEC 17021-1. Certificates accredited for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 and 50001 are recognised across the IAF MLA worldwide; ISO 22301 is accredited by EGAC but sits outside EGAC’s IAF MLA scope.

ISO 50001:2018 — accredited scope (ISO 50003:2021)+

Accredited for energy management across energy-using sectors. Per ISO 50003:2021, the scope is bounded by the client’s energy consumption and technical areas rather than IAF technical codes.

ISO 22301:2019 — accredited scope (ISO/IEC TS 17021-6:2014)+

Accredited for business continuity management across all sectors; no IAF technical-code restriction applies.

Where it’s recognised

The EGAC scope of accreditation lists these markets — and, for the five standards within EGAC’s IAF MLA scope, IAF MLA recognition extends acceptance to 100+ economies worldwide.

How the recognition works

1

Your certificate

Issued by CAS under the accredited scheme, bearing the EGAC accreditation mark — plus the IAF MLA mark where the standard falls within EGAC's IAF MLA scope.

2

CAS — EGAC CAB 012418

Audited and monitored by EGAC against ISO/IEC 17021-1.

3

EGAC — IAF MLA signatory

Egypt's national accreditation body, peer-evaluated and an IAF MLA member.

4

Recognised in 100+ economies

Through the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement — for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 and 50001, the five standards within EGAC's IAF MLA scope.

Nationally, CAS is also registered with the Egyptian Organization for Standardization & Quality (EOS) as a certification body (No. CB176), under Minister of Trade & Industry decree 415/2010.

Accredited vs. “By CAS”

We never blur the line. You can always tell an accredited certificate from a non-accredited one.

Accredited

The six standards in our EGAC scope (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000, 50001, 22301). The certificate CAS issues carries the EGAC mark — plus the IAF MLA mark for the five standards within EGAC’s IAF MLA scope (all but ISO 22301) — and is published to IAF CertSearch; the certified organisation itself displays the CAS certification mark (the EGAC/IAF marks are CAS’s accreditation marks).

ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 and 50001: recognised in 100+ economies through the IAF MLA. ISO 22301: EGAC-accredited.

Issued “By CAS”

Other schemes we offer (e.g. ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 37001, ISO 13485, ISO/IEC 42001) are issued under CAS’s own authority. They carry only the CAS mark — never EGAC or IAF.

Accreditation FAQ

Is CAS accredited?+
Yes. CAS Conformity Assessment Services (LLC) is accredited by EGAC — the Egyptian Accreditation Council — as a certification body under ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 (accreditation certificate 012418A, schedule 012418B). First accredited on 28 November 2025; valid to 27 November 2029.
What does “IAF MLA recognised” mean?+
EGAC is a signatory to the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA). A CAS certificate accredited for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 or 50001 falls within EGAC's IAF MLA scope and is therefore recognised as equivalent by accreditation bodies in 100+ economies. ISO 22301 is within CAS's EGAC accreditation but outside EGAC's IAF MLA scope, so it carries the EGAC accreditation mark without the IAF MLA mark.
Which standards are within the accredited scope?+
Six management-system standards: ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental), ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety), ISO 22000:2018 (food safety), ISO 50001:2018 (energy) and ISO 22301:2019 (business continuity). The accredited technical sectors for each are listed in EGAC schedule 012418B.
Is ISO 22301 covered by the IAF MLA?+
No. ISO 22301:2019 (business continuity) is within CAS's EGAC accreditation — audited under ISO/IEC TS 17021-6:2014 — but business continuity is outside EGAC's IAF MLA scope. An accredited CAS ISO 22301 certificate therefore carries the EGAC accreditation mark and appears on the EGAC register, without the IAF MLA mark. The five standards within EGAC's IAF MLA scope are ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000 and ISO 50001.
What is the difference between accredited and “By CAS” certificates?+
For the six accredited standards above, the certificate CAS issues carries the EGAC mark — and, for the five standards within EGAC's IAF MLA scope (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 and 50001), the IAF MLA mark too (these are CAS's accreditation marks, shown because CAS issued the certificate under its accreditation). Other schemes we offer are issued under CAS's own authority, marked “By CAS”, and carry only the CAS mark. In both cases the certified organisation displays the CAS certification mark in its own materials — clients never use the EGAC or IAF marks — so accredited and non-accredited certifications stay clearly distinguishable.
How can I verify a CAS certificate?+
Three independent routes. Check the certificate on the CAS verification page at cas.com.eg/certsearch; look CAS up as an accredited body on the EGAC public register (CAB 012418); and for accredited certificates, search the IAF CertSearch global registry. ISO/IEC 17021-1 clause 8.1.2 requires a certification body to provide the status of a given certificate on request.
In which countries is the accreditation valid?+
EGAC schedule 012418B lists Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, Italy and the United Arab Emirates. Beyond those, IAF MLA recognition extends acceptance of certificates within EGAC's IAF MLA scope to accreditation bodies in 100+ economies. Note that EU regulated sectors — CE marking and notified-body activity — require a body accredited by an EEA national accreditation body signatory to the EA MLA; IAF MLA recognition covers voluntary schemes.
