Records Show Guberman Was First Endorsed By U.S. Quality Leadership, They Attempted 2016 Recruiting Him Into The ANAB-IAF System— Daryl Guberman-2016 Refused After Identifying National-Security Risks Tied To Foreign Control Of Global Accreditation.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Hartok -- Daryl Guberman, a 40‑year quality expert, aerospace supplier consultant, and Boeing shareholder, has released new documentation outlining his early recognition of foreign influence and systemic conflicts of interest inside the global accreditation network that governs aerospace, medical, defense, and critical‑infrastructure certification.
The newly disclosed timeline shows that Guberman was welcomed and supported by mainstream U.S. quality leadership in 2013, and later declined an invitation to join the ANSI‑ANAB‑IAF system in 2016—specifically because of concerns about Chinese control of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF incorporated in Delaware (2015-2021) and the national‑security implications that followed. https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/business/article/Quality-management-expert-Daryl-Guberman-speaks-13944310.php
2013: ASQ Leadership Publicly Recognizes Guberman's Work
In 2013, at American Society for Quality (ASQ) section meetings in New Haven and Fairfield County, Region 3 Director Dave Levy publicly stated:
"Mr. Guberman, ANAB has no problem with what you're doing. In fact, we support you." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOct8olmQWA
At that time, ASQ owned 50% of ANAB, the U.S. accreditation body, alongside ANSI owned 50% . The acknowledgment demonstrated that Guberman and his firm, GUBERMAN‑PMC, were viewed as legitimate contributors to the quality profession—long before he became a critic of the accreditation system.

2016: Invitation to Join ANAB/IAF — and a Refusal on Ethical and National‑Security Grounds
In 2016, Guberman was approached by Randy Dougherty, former Vice President of ANAB (2009–2015), former Chairman of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and the principal signatory on IAF's IRS Form 990 filings.
Dougherty encouraged Guberman to join either: https://youtu.be/MshbKGrQa8c
Guberman refused, citing concerns about the IAF's leadership shift the year prior.
The Reason for the Refusal: Chinese Control of the IAF (2015–2021)
In 2015, the IAF appointed Xiao Jianhua, a Chinese national, as its Chairman. At the same time, Xiao served as
Between 2015 - 2021, Xiao Jianhua held simultaneous control over:
Because of the IAF's MLA/MRA structure, CNAS was treated as equivalent to ANAB, meaning Chinese oversight extended into U.S. aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and defense supply chains.
In January 2017, while still IAF Chairman, Xiao appeared in an ill‑prepared BSL‑level laboratory in Wuhan, underscoring the breadth of his authority across sectors.

Guberman argues that the IAF/MLA structure created a channel for data access, influence, and systemic conflicts of interest across industries that rely on accredited certification, including:
He notes that paper‑only accreditation often fails to detect real‑world technical risks—such as heat‑treat failures, special‑process breakdowns, and supplier‑quality gaps that can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
Guberman's Position
"I was welcomed by ASQ in 2013. I was invited into the ANAB/IAF system in 2016. I walked away because I saw the national‑security implications before anyone wanted to talk about them. My concern was simple: no foreign government should have judgement power over U.S. aerospace and defense certification." "The issue I saw: DOD, DOJ, DHS,DOC, FDA, FAA, BOEING, LOCKEED, ETC all sat on ANSI-ANAB who in turn sat as members of the IAF (2015-2021)
