International Accreditation Services (IAS) Accreditation Criteria (AC) 291 (IAS-AC 291) provides a quantifyable way to prove inspection agency competence.

Inspector competence is established through passing an exam, and showing experience in the same type and complexity of materials and listings to be inspected.
