Tailored accreditation solutions
Accreditation can be tailored to address specific regulatory or industry risks, requirements and objectives. JASANZ works with governments, regulators and industry to turn these needs into practical, credible assurance solutions.

Building trusted assurance frameworks
A well-designed assurance framework brings together clear requirements, appropriate assessment and effective governance. JASANZ helps develop these elements into an accreditation scheme that can operate consistently over time.
This can include defining requirements and assessment approaches, establishing governance arrangements, consulting stakeholders and developing the processes needed to put the scheme into operation.

the development process
Developing an accreditation scheme
Scheme development brings together technical expertise, stakeholder input and practical experience at each stage.
Understand the need
JASANZ works with the partner organisation to understand the purpose of the scheme, the problem it needs to address and the outcomes it needs to support. We also assess whether a new scheme is the right approach or whether an existing accreditation pathway can meet the need.
Design the framework
Working with the partner organisation and relevant stakeholders, JASANZ develops the scheme requirements, governance arrangements, assessment approach and operating model.
Consult and refine
JASANZ brings together technical experts, regulators, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to review and refine the scheme, ensuring it is practical, robust, and fit for purpose.
Launch the scheme
Once developed and approved, the scheme is published and moves into operation, providing the framework for consistent assurance within the sector.
