ANAB Accreditation Programs In Development

Private Sector Preparedness Voluntary Certification

Under an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ANAB will be the sole source accreditation body for the Private Sector Preparedness Voluntary Certification Program. DHS has designated three standards for this program: ASIS SPC.1, BS 25999-2, and NAFP 1600. ANAB is moving its accredited certification program forward, working on a 12-point plan. You can find related information at the PS-Prep site.

BA 9000 Body Armor

The ANAB Accreditation Council has approved a BA 9000 domestic law enforcement body armor program and it will be announced when the National Institute of Justice completes the approval process for BA 9000.

ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems

An ISO standard for energy management systems is being developed. The standard is at the CD1 level and it is hoped that it will move to the DIS level in February 2010. ANAB plans to develop an accredited certification program for the standard in parallel with development of the standard so that when ISO 50001 is published a program will be ready for launch.

FSSC 22000 Food Safety Management Systems

ISO 22000 is the basis of the FSSC 22000 food safety management system certification process, with BSI PAS-220:2008 added as a basis for prerequisite program requirements. ANAB is developoing an accreditation process for the standard and will operate it under an ISO/IEC 17021-based program. Announcment of the ANAB program is expected in early 2010. The Foundation for Food Safety Certification is based in Gorinchem, Netherlands.
