NEW CITY, N.Y. - s4story -- A System Built on Trust—or a House of Cards?

The ILAC and IAF system is supposed to make people trust global certificates and quality checks. But under the surface, it isn't as trustworthy as it looks. IAF Inc., registered in Delaware, was started by ANSI and ANAB—two U.S. organizations that want to control the story of international accreditation.

"This is not impartial oversight," says DARYL GUBERMAN, recognized quality expert and Boeing shareholder. "It is a closed loop where certifiers and certificate issuers operate under the same umbrella. They blur the line between regulation and marketing, selling credibility as a commodity rather than earning it."

The Illusion of Confidence

ANSI–ANAB says third-party registrars "issue confidence," but GUBERMAN warns this is misleading. Certificates may look official, but often they are made with little checking and a lot of self-interest.

Boeing's 22-Year-264 months & 8,036 days: Certification Monopoly: 8,300–12,500 Aircraft Flying Without True Independent Inspection https://www.prlog.org/13092750-boeings-22-year-264-months-8036-days-certification-monopoly-830012500-aircraft-flying-without-true-independent-inspection.html

Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) are supposed to help global trade, but they let weak certifications spread worldwide, pretending to be equal to strong ones. The result is a system that helps companies more than it helps consumers.

"They invoke the UN Sustainable Development Goals to cloak themselves in legitimacy," GUBERMAN explains. "But meaningful standards are rarely enforced. It's a global accreditation cartel that manufactures trust while shielding itself from accountability."

2013: GUBERMAN gave a speech at the American Society for Quality, which owned half of ANAB at the time. Regional Director David Levy said: "ANAB has no problem in what your doing and we support you sir"

2016: Randy Dougherty, former VP of ANAB and former IAF Chairman, invited GUBERMAN to join ANAB, the IAF, or both. By then, IAF was controlled by Xiao Jianhua (2015-2021), a Chinese national with previous U.S. quality system involvement. Xiao later certified an under-prepared Wuhan lab in January 2017.

GUBERMAN refused:

"The IAF was effectively controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Under Article 7 of China's National Intelligence Law, sensitive data is mandated to be transferred to Chinese authorities. "I could not compromise integrity for opportunity."

Why This Matters

This is more than a press release—it's an exposé about hidden risks in global accreditation. Millions of certificates are issued every year, promising safety and quality, but the truth is more troubling. The system benefits insiders and leaves real people and companies exposed.

ANSI–ANAB and ISO say third-party accreditation should independently confirm competence. This sounds good in theory, but history shows otherwise. Failures at Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson show how broken the system can be, especially when corporations sit on the ANSI–ANAB board. Federal Complicity: Federal agencies—DOJ, DHS, Commerce, and FDA—sit on ANSI–ANAB's board while claiming to oversee Boeing, creating a rigged system of collusion that allows fraudulent certification practices and a wholesale cover-up of America's aviation safety failures.

"People assume that certification equals trust," GUBERMAN says. "In this case, trust is manufactured. Accountability is absent. And the consequences are global."
