What does UKAS accreditation actually mean?

Being UKAS-accredited means our certification process has been independently assessed against international standards for competence, impartiality, and consistency.

In practice, that means:

  • Your audit follows globally recognised rules
  • Your certification is independently verified
  • Your auditor is qualified and monitored
  • Your certificate is credible to customers, regulators, and partners

Put simply: it’s certification you can rely on—and prove.

Why UKAS accreditation matters for your business

Not all ISO 27001 certificates carry the same weight.

With a UKAS-accredited certification from Tempo:

  • Enterprise buyers trust your certification instantly
  • You pass supplier due diligence faster
  • You meet regulatory and contractual requirements
  • You avoid being asked to “re-certify” later

Without it, you may face delays, extra scrutiny—or outright rejection.

UKAS-accredited vs non-accredited certification

There are many providers offering ISO 27001 certification—but not all are accredited.

UKAS-accredited certification (like Tempo)

  • Independently verified by a national accreditation body
  • Follows strict international standards
  • Recognised globally
  • Accepted by enterprises, governments, and regulators

Non-accredited certification

  • No independent oversight
  • Varies in quality and rigour
  • May not be accepted by customers or regulators
  • Often cheaper—but riskier

Bottom line:‍

If your certification needs to stand up in the real world, accreditation isn’t optional.

Recognised worldwide

Tempo’s UKAS accreditation supports certification for organisations operating globally.

Through international agreements, UKAS-accredited certificates are recognised across key markets—meaning your certification travels with you.

FAQs

Here are the answers to the questions we hear most from growing teams.

No. UKAS accredits certification bodies (and other entities!) across many standards, including ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), ISO 42001 (Artificial Intelligence) and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), not just ISO 27001.

Certification runs on a 3-year cycle. Annual surveillance audits are required to maintain validity, with a full re-certification audit completed at the end of the cycle.

If your current certificate is issued by another IAF-accredited body, transfer will be possible following a formal transfer review. Drop Tempo a line on hello@tempoaudits.com if you want to discuss transferring your certification.

Unaccredited certificates, unfortunately, require full re-certification.
