Certification that treats you as capable of understanding your own audit
EdelCert was founded to offer a certification experience that treats clients as capable of understanding their own audit, not as recipients of a pass/fail letter. That starting point shapes how audit partners are selected, how decisions are run, and how much of the process we are willing to show a client on request.
EdelCert International (Pty) Ltd is the certification body, registered in Cape Town in July 2026 and applying for accreditation with the International Accreditation Service (IAS). EdelCert International does not perform audits itself: audit delivery is subcontracted to partner organisations such as EdelCert SA in Switzerland, under our procedures and oversight. Our accreditation scope covers construction (IAF 28) and transport, storage and communication (IAF 31).
- A certificate is only as credible as the accreditation behind it.
- Independence between auditing and deciding is not optional.
- Clients should be able to ask "why" and get a specific answer.
- Growing our reach must never mean inconsistent audit quality.
