Accredited Certification
Certification is not a requirement of PSPVC, it is voluntary
Certification is a requirement for some standards, such as the aerospace industry’s AS9100
Certification is normally voluntary and driven by market forces
Certification is normally a business decision
BUT, if seeking certification, seek accredited certification only -- BUYER BEWARE
