Abstract
⺠Trust and distrust in certifiers shapes certification standards and outcomes. ⺠Perception of value salience is key to trust in certifiers. ⺠Rationalistic accreditation systems fuel value-based distrust. ⺠Distrust of certifiers drives prescriptive standards and a spiral of surveillance and control. ⺠Trust is better viewed as a prerequisite to certification than an outcome of global, rationalistic control.
