Natural Accreditation is the independent evaluation of natural conformity assessment bodies against natural standards, natural halal standards, ecogloballabel standard, vegan standard and hygenie, health and safety MS standard to ensure their impartiality and competence. Through the application of international standards, government, manufactures and consumers can have confidence in the assessment results, assessment reports and natural certifications provided.

Natural Accreditation bodies are established in many countries with the primary purpose of ensuring that natural conformity assessment bodies are subject to oversight by an authoritative body. Natural Accreditation Bodies, which have been evaluated by peers as competent, sign arrangements that enhance the acceptance of products, management systems and services across national borders, thereby creating a framework to support international trade through the removal of technical barriers.

Natural Accreditation is increasingly being used by regulators and the market as an impartial, independent and transparent means of assessing the competence of natural conformity assessment bodies. i-NAF provides the technical basis for the world-wide recognition of the competence of the bodies accredited by its members, realising the concept "assessment or certified-accepted everywhere".
