The Association for Engineering Education of Russia was one of the founding members of the Independent Accreditation Center (IAC), which was the first non-governmental agency for the evaluation of engineering educational programs. In 2001 the AEER initiated the revision of the accreditation criteria and procedures to make them consistent with the world experience in quality assurance in higher education. In 2002, the AEER developed new criteria and procedures for public accreditation of engineering programs. AEER goals and tasks include the professional accreditation of engineering programmes

ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental agency that accredits programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. They provide voluntary, specialized accreditation for post-secondary programs within degree-granting institutions already recognized by national or regional institutional accreditation agencies or national education authorities worldwide. ABET is engaged globally through four primary means: 1) accreditation of academic programs; 2) mutual recognition of accreditation organizations; 3) Memoranda of Understanding with accreditation/quality

The Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) develops, approves and implements systems for evaluation and accreditation, including evaluation and accreditation of both institutions and programs, in the field of education and training in Saudi Arabia.  In 2018, the organization reviewed and developed updated program accreditation standards, and began the process of reviewing and awarding both provisional and full accreditation status to universities within Saudi Arabia. In 2022, ETEC became a provisional signatory of the Washington Accord, and a full signatory of the Seoul Accord in

ASIIN is a German accreditation agency specialised in accrediting degree programs from the fields of engineering, informatics/computer science, the natural sciences and mathematics at bachelor, Maser and PhD levels. Within an ASIIN programme accreditation procedure, it is possible to acquire specific quality seals (labels) for certain subjects in addition to the ASIIN seal. Currently, the EUR-ACE label for engineering and the Euro-Inf label for computer science and business informatics may be applied for with ASIIN program accreditation.

The Australian Computer Society has mission to advance professional excellence in information and communication technology, and provide accreditation for "information and communications technology." For the purpose of these Guidelines, the term "information and communications technology" means: "Computer Science, Information Systems, Computer Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, including directly related subjects and technologies, and their use in analysis, design, construction and application of computer an ccommunications based systems."

The Australian Engineering Accreditation Centre (AEAC) evaluates engineering programs at the levels of Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist, and Engineering Associate. Competency Standards are published as a foundation reference for part of the assessment process and set out the generic competencies deemed to be essential for an individual to commence practice in the appropriate occupational category. The standards cover knowledge, skills and engineering application abilities as well as professional skills, values and attitudes, and provide detailed indicators of attainment for each
