Sahih Certifications Becomes First Local Certification Body in Middle East & Africa to Attain UKAS Accreditation
Doha, Qatar – January 2026 — Sahih Certifications proudly announces that it has received formal accreditation from the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), the world’s leading national accreditation body. This achievement makes Sahih the first Qatari-owned and operated certification body — and the first in the Middle East and Africa — to be accredited by UKAS.
The accreditation currently covers ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management Systems), specifically within the hospitality sector.
This milestone marks a major advancement in the region’s ability to access internationally recognized certification through a local, trusted partner. Organizations across Qatar and the region can now pursue UKAS-accredited certification with greater flexibility, cultural alignment, and responsiveness — without relying on foreign entities.
