Methodology
Follow the legal entity, the accreditation route and the dated evidence. Our research was checked on 2026-11-11.
What qualifies for the directory
A body needs public ISO/IEC 42001 certification evidence and at least three sourced fields beyond name, website and summary. The dataset contains 44 bodies: 42 backed by accreditor registers or scope documents, plus two backed by body announcements.
ANAB’s standard-specific search returned legal entity names, accreditation IDs, locations, phones and companion standards. We also read UKAS schedules, IAS scope certificates, DNV’s RvA scope, KAB scheme-specific register entries and Accredia management-system scopes. Provider pages establish published service descriptions and cost context. The directory spans eight accreditors and grows as registers add ISO 42001 scopes.
What the evidence labels mean
- Accreditor register: the accreditor’s directory returned the body for ISO/IEC 42001.
- Accreditor scope: the accreditor’s published scope names AI management system certification.
- Body announcement: the provider publishes an accreditation claim. Intertek and TÜV SÜD use this label; obtain the current accreditor scope when appointing them.
The main accreditor column shows the route used for the record. Tags also include independently checked additional routes, such as BSI’s UKAS schedule. Group brands, subsidiaries and issuing entities remain distinct.
How to read the sources
Every populated field explicitly maps to a source URL and access date in JSON. Table and comparison source markers open that field’s evidence. A blank means the field was not captured in the reviewed sources; it does not establish that the service is unavailable. Locations describe certification entities, rather than global service coverage.
Every body page links to its accreditation hub and related bodies. Related bodies share a hub where possible and are ordered alphabetically around the current record. Neither inclusion nor ordering is a quality ranking.
Costs, dates and company examples
The budget guide keeps the source’s currency, activity and qualifications. Audit fees, training fees and staff effort are separate. Case-study durations describe named customer journeys. A readiness workshop duration does not measure the full time to certification.
The company examples retain announcement context and scope wording in paraphrase. A report date is not necessarily the certification date. We count Salesforce and its Slack AI scope once under the same published certificate holder. Separately announced KPMG US and KPMG Canada reports remain separate organizational records. Each company record has at least three sourced fields; the company JSON includes field definitions and source mappings. Companion standards describe the source page, not an assertion that their audit scopes are identical. Certificate expiry and current standing require a current register or certificate check. We record no unsourced validity claims.
Register coverage and unresolved checks
Sources accessed 2026-11-11. Check the ANAB register, UKAS directory, IAS scopes, KAB scheme entries and Accredia entity scopes for the evidence underlying these routes.
The JASANZ register returned a JavaScript shell in this review; Intertek remains announcement-backed. The DAkkS search page has not yet returned a body-specific ISO 42001 scope; German-accredited bodies join the table as soon as it does.
Kiwa identifies NQA as its UKAS-accredited group company; NQA is counted once. Certiba was not added because an exact issuing entity and qualifying accreditation evidence were not established. ANAB applications alone do not establish granted accreditation.
Editorial guide and corrections
The clause guide paraphrases public guidance. Working-file examples and procurement questions are editorial suggestions. Use the licensed standard for normative requirements.
Send a public source and the affected field to hello@iso42001guide.com. A correction changes the record’s verification date. Paid featured placements are labelled; they leave table sorting and evidence unchanged.

Field definitions
- Issuing entity
- Legal certification body named by the evidence; a group brand can use several entities.
- Accreditor
- Primary accreditation route shown in this record. Tags include additional routes checked.
- Accreditation ID
- Exact register or scope identifier; not a customer certificate number.
- Evidence
- Accreditor register or scope checked directly, versus an accreditation claim published by the body.
- Body location
- Location of the entity in the source, not a service-coverage promise or group headquarters.
- Other scope standards
- Other standards listed in the same accreditation evidence; not a claim that all audits are combined.
- Published phone
- Certification body contact phone from the accreditation register.
- AI roles in scope
- AI roles explicitly listed in the reviewed scope. Blank means roles were not transcribed.
- Published services
- Services the body explicitly describes. Ask the body to confirm independence for any readiness work.
- Published cost context
- Source-specific cost with currency and exclusions; training fees are separate from audit fees.
- Published timing
- Named activity and its duration; a workshop is not an end-to-end certification timetable.
