The IBS – International Board of Standards proudly stands as the first U.S.-based organization to achieve a rare and distinguished combination of ISO 9001, ISO 21001, and ISO 29993 certifications, verifying our commitment to excellence, transparency, and learner-centered quality in education and certification worldwide.

Through these accreditations, IBS operates as both a certification body and a qualifications verification authority, providing independent validation of learning programs, credentials, and professional designations across international boundaries.

In addition to its ISO accreditations, IBS upholds and aligns its verification and recognition processes with the world’s most respected frameworks for educational equivalency and credential validation:

• Lisbon Recognition Convention (1997) – The foundational international legal framework governing the recognition of higher education qualifications across the European Region.
• Recommendation on Criteria and Procedures for the Assessment of Foreign Qualifications (2010) – Guiding fair, consistent, and evidence-based evaluation of international academic awards.
• European Area of Recognition (EAR) Manual – Providing the operational methodology and best practices for evaluating global academic comparability.
• ENIC–NARIC Code of Good Practice – Ensuring integrity, impartiality, and transparency in credential assessment and recognition decisions.
• UNESCO Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications (2019) – Establishing worldwide cooperation and equivalency recognition beyond Europe.
• European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and National Qualifications Frameworks (NQF) – Providing a harmonized level-based comparison of qualifications across education systems.
• Europass / EDCI Digital Credential Guidelines – Integrating digital verification technologies for future-ready, tamper-proof international recognition.

IBS’s purpose is to support cross-border recognition of professional, academic, and technical qualifications through internationally recognized quality systems. By harmonizing ISO principles with the Lisbon and UNESCO conventions, IBS advances trust and interoperability between universities, training providers, and credentialing organizations around the world.

Our quality framework ensures that all certifications and verifications issued under the IBS system meet the highest international benchmarks of authenticity, transparency, and comparability — empowering learners and professionals to have their achievements recognized globally.
