For ISO 42001, accreditation ensures that the auditors have the specific AI domain expertise required to judge technical controls like bias mitigation or model explainability. An unaccredited certificate may look identical but carries significantly less legal weight and may not be accepted by regulators as evidence of reasonable care.
Example
A bank selects a certification body accredited by UKAS to perform their ISO 42001 audit to ensure the resulting certificate is recognized by the PRA and FCA.
