Curious. Laboratories are accredited to ISO 17025, not certified.

Registration/Certification are the same meaning - perhaps just geography affects it. In the UK they had “Certification Bodies”. Then, later the USA adopted “Registrars”. Tomato/tomahto. There is no difference, practical or technical. The preferred term is “Conformity Assessment Body”, I believe…

I recently had the privilege to be in a room with many North American CBs and ABs and it was mentioned in passing that the terms Registrar/Registration were antiquated. Even in North America, most have moved away from those terms.

Accreditation - National Body such as ANAB : Standards such as ISO 17021, ISO 17025. Certification granted by accredited body such as Intertek to standards ISO 9001 etc. Registration might be for those who choose not be an accredited certification body?
