Capabilities and evidence
Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.
Documented by provider
BSI states it was the first certification body accredited by UKAS to certify ISO/IEC 42001 and that it also holds RvA (Netherlands) and ANAB accreditation for certifying AI management systems.
Limit: Accreditation is stated by BSI itself, not read from UKAS/RvA/ANAB registers in this session; the accreditation covers ISO/IEC 42001 management-system certification only.
