ACCM América

What ACCM América does

ACCM América, S. de R.L de C.V. is a Mexico-based conformity assessment body (Organismo de Evaluación de la Conformidad) and the Americas operation of ACCM, a Spanish-origin certification organization founded in 2000. The company delivers third-party certification and inspection services against international ISO management system standards — including ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety), ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 37001 (anti-bribery), ISO 21001 (educational organizations), ISO 20121 (event sustainability), and ISO 18091 (local government quality) — alongside Mexican national standards such as NMX-R-025 (gender equality and non-discrimination) and proprietary distinctions including STOP COVID-19 ACCM and PARE.

The underlying technology is the accredited audit process itself, governed by EMA (Entidad Mexicana de Acreditación) and ENAC (Entidad Nacional de Acreditación, Spain) accreditation, with certificate recognition extended through MRA/MLA agreements with IAF, ILAC, APAC, and IAAC. Delivery is human-judgment intensive: certified auditors conduct on-site and remote assessments, with the resulting certificate serving as the internationally portable trust artifact.

ACCM generates revenue through quote-based, multi-year certification contracts comprising initial assessments, surveillance audits, and recertification cycles. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored to the organization's size, scope, sites, and standards pursued. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, primarily via the accmgroup.com website with dedicated quote-request and certified-client inquiry pathways, supplemented by organic social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram. Customers span corporates, government bodies, educational institutions, and non-profits in Mexico; the most prominent disclosed client is Fundación Azteca de Grupo Salinas, certified as Mexico's first anti-bribery-certified foundation under ISO 37001.
