The Collapse Of Accreditation- WORLDWIDE

WASHINGTON - Dec. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- For more than forty years, Daryl Guberman has worked in quality systems, certification, and regulatory compliance across aerospace, medical, and critical manufacturing industries. Today, he is issuing an urgent public warning: the international accreditation system relied upon to guarantee safety, quality, and trust has collapsed—and its failure affects every certified product, every global supply chain, and the flying public.

For decades, global industries depended on an accreditation ecosystem designed to ensure impartial oversight. That system includes international standards such as ISO 9001 and AS9100, certification bodies (registrars) including NSF, DQS, TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rhineland, NQA, Intertek, and BSI, and accreditation bodies such as the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), responsible for overseeing those registrars.

These certifications are intended to assure regulators, investors, customers, and the public that suppliers and products meet independent, objective requirements. That assurance no longer exists.

How Accreditation Rules Were Violated

Accreditation bodies are governed by ISO/IEC 17011, the international standard that establishes mandatory requirements for impartiality, independence, and freedom from commercial influence. The standard explicitly prohibits accreditation decisions from being influenced by organizations with commercial or financial interests in certification outcomes.

From 2014 through 2024, Boeing, together with BSI, participated on ANAB management system accreditation committees with authority to grant, suspend, and withdraw certifications. This placed organizations with direct commercial interests inside the governance structure of the accrediting body responsible for validating certification bodies.

Under ISO/IEC 17011, this represents a structural failure of impartiality. When accreditation independence collapses, accreditation itself becomes invalid, and every certificate issued under that system is placed into question.

Who Is Affected

The consequences extend across industries and global supply chains, including:

• Aerospace and defense manufacturers and suppliers
• Medical device and pharmaceutical companies
• Automotive and electronics manufacturers
• Logistics and transportation providers
• Institutional investors managing trillions of dollars
• And most importantly, the flying public

All rely on certifications issued by registrars operating under ANAB accreditation. When accreditation fails, every downstream assurance fails with it.

Why This Matters to Everyone

Certification is not symbolic. It underpins aircraft safety, medical device reliability, product conformity, investor risk management, and global logistics operations. When accreditation bodies violate ISO/IEC 17011, certification loses its meaning, exposing the public and markets to systemic industrial and fiduciary risk.

Unprecedented Exposure and the Only Path Forward

According to Guberman, he is the individual who has exposed what constitutes the largest industrial and fiduciary breakdown ever revealed within global accreditation and certification systems. This exposure is not speculative—it is based on documented governance structures, committee participation, and direct conflicts of interest that violated international standards.

"This is not an attack on individual companies," said Guberman. "It is a documented, standards-based exposure of systemic failures that invalidated accreditation oversight across multiple industries. No other individual has brought forward this scope of evidence, technical analysis, and historical accountability."

Guberman states that there is no internal mechanism capable of repairing this failure, as the same structures that allowed the collapse remain in place. Only independent leadership with proven expertise in accreditation mechanics, regulatory compliance, and conflict-of-interest exposure can restore trust.

Call for Immediate Reform

Restoring credibility requires:

1.     Independent accreditation governance, free of industry and registrar influence

2.     Enforceable conflict-of-interest controls, not paper policies

3.     Transparent, externally verified oversight of accreditation bodies

Until these reforms are implemented under qualified, independent leadership, certifications issued under compromised accreditation structures cannot be relied upon as proof of safety, quality, or compliance.

"The public, suppliers, investors, and regulators deserve accountability," Guberman added. "They deserve results. Trust in certification is not optional—it is essential to safety and global confidence."
