There is no certification for Service on board but...
Much like Pilots, F/A's must get certified on each airplane they fly on. To be certified, they must demonstrate knowledge about the location and operation of emergency and safety equipment location/operation throughout the plane. Furthermore, written and applied knowledge of emergency procedures (forced landing, ditching, evacuation) native to each type. The certification must be on board when the F/A operates on a flight. It must be renewed every year. Ex: An F/A for AC, the certification certification encompasses CRJ, 767, A340 etc... the F/A must pass written and practical test for every single different type in the fleet.

In the UK its much stricter, we are limited to a max of 3 aircraft types, but we are one of the few countries in Europe to require a cabin crew licence although there are moves to introduce this to bring us into lines with other EU nations.
