The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the sole national accreditation to assess the competence of organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.It evaluates these conformity assessment bodies and then accredits them where they are found to meet the internationally specified standard.
An organisation accredited by UKAS can demonstrate competence, impartiality and reliability in its ability to deliver results. Accreditation ensures that everyone from specifiers, purchasers, and suppliers to consumers can have confidence in the quality of goods and in the provision of services throughout the supply chain.
Functions:
UKAS assesses conformity assessment bodies for competence against internationally recognised standards
UKAS accredits (recognising competence of organisations to provide conformity assessment tasks)
UKAS issues accreditation certificates and schedules showing the limits of the accreditation for a particular conformity assessment body and permits the use of the UKAS mark on accredited certification provided that it is accompanied by the UKAS Accreditation Number of the accredited body. The validity of an accreditation should be checked on the UKAS website. UKAS Certificates do not presently bear an expiry date.

It is in that sense similar to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States.
