Steps
Review 1926.1427 on osha.gov for the accreditation criteria a crane operator testing organization must meet (independent accreditation covering written testing materials, practical exams, administration, grading, facilities, and personnel)
Check the NCCCO Foundation's accreditation-status resource, or the relevant accrediting body's own directory (e.g., ANSI National Accreditation Board), for the testing organization's current accreditation status rather than assuming it from a card or logo
Confirm the specific certification category and equipment type the accreditation covers, since accreditation can be scoped to particular programs
Re-verify accreditation status periodically, since it can lapse, be suspended, or be withdrawn
Cross-check any state or city AHJ's own approved-organization list (e.g., a state crane board's regulation) if the jurisdiction maintains one, since it may differ from the federal OSHA baseline
Known gotchas
Do not rely on a fixed count or list of 'currently accredited' organizations from a blog or training-vendor site — accreditation status changes, so check the accrediting body's own current directory
A testing organization's accreditation can be scoped to specific certification categories; accreditation for one program does not necessarily extend to all of that organization's other offerings
