Organization Identity
Confirm the organization identified within the accreditation record and match it with the organization whose accreditation information is being reviewed.
IABCET verification connects published accreditation information with the applicable accreditation record for an organization or program.
Use verification information to understand what to check, how to read an accreditation record, and how organization identity, accreditation scope, status, and record information work together.
Accreditation verification begins with identifying the organization or program associated with the information being reviewed.
The relevant accreditation record can then be examined in relation to its accreditation category, scope, status, and other published information.
This record-based approach is important because an organization may conduct multiple educational, professional, training, or organizational activities. The accreditation information should therefore be understood within the scope represented by the applicable record.
IABCET verification resources provide a structured pathway for locating and reviewing that information.
Each element of the accreditation record contributes to understanding what the published accreditation information represents.
Confirm the organization identified within the accreditation record and match it with the organization whose accreditation information is being reviewed.
Where accreditation relates to a defined program, identify the program associated with the record and distinguish it from other activities of the organization.
Review the applicable accreditation category to understand the accreditation pathway represented by the record.
Examine the scope to understand the organizational, educational, programmatic, or professional-learning context associated with the accreditation.
Review the accreditation standing represented by the applicable record together with its category and scope.

Accreditation scope and accreditation status answer different questions within the same record.
Scope identifies the organizational, educational, programmatic, or professional-learning context associated with the accreditation record.
Reviewing scope helps establish what the accreditation information applies to within the organization or program being examined.
Status identifies the accreditation standing represented within the applicable record.
Reviewing status together with scope establishes both the accreditation standing and the context represented by the record.
The information required for verification depends on the type and scope of the accreditation record being reviewed.
