A number of alternatives to regulation (e.g. codes of conduct, standards, quality marks) may lead to a requirement or demand for independent validation through a system of approval. An example of this is certification. Please find below a link to the Impact Assessment guidance.

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service is a body that can provide advice and assistance on setting up and regulating various independent validation processes.
