provided by some form of external review, education, or assessment.
Professional certification,
where a person/organisation is certified as being able to competently complete a job or task, usually by
the passing of an examination.

processes intended to determine if a product meets minimum standards, similar to quality assurance.
5
What is SITA Certification?
The process through which SITA will certify industry partners and departments against pre defined criteria – e.g. process, tools, people & experience, regulatory requirements, local presence - to assist with ICT services to government departments.
6
What is Accreditation?
“The process through which certification of competency, authority, or credibility is presented.
Organizations that issue credentials or certify third parties against official standards are themselves formally accredited by accreditation bodies (such as “SANAS”); hence they are sometimes known as "accredited certification bodies".
The accreditation process ensures that their certification practices are acceptable, typically meaning that they are competent to test and certify third parties, behave ethically and employ suitable quality assurance.
One example of accreditation is the accreditation of testing laboratories and certification specialists that are permitted to issue official certificates of compliance with established standards, such as physical, chemical, forensic, quality, and security standards.”
