Breif Introduction

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the sole national Accreditation Body for the
United Kingdom. UKAS is recognized by government, to assess against internationally agreed
standards, organizations that provide certification, testing & inspection and calibration services.
Accreditation by UKAS demonstrates the competence, impartiality and performance capability of
these evaluators. In short, UKAS ‘checks the checkers’. UKAS is a non-profit-distributing private
company, limited by guarantee. UKAS is independent of Government.

The Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) helps markets work better by
providing internationally recognised accreditation services that create economic benefit.

The Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC) has been established under the administrative
control of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of Pakistan as the national apex
agency to accredit conformity assessment bodies such as laboratories and certification bodies. PNAC
was established in 1998 after signing WTO in 1995. The accreditation services of PNAC were launched
during the year 2001. PNAC achieved a milestone of Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) with
International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and Multi-literal Recognition Arrangement
(MLA) with international Accreditation Forum (IAF). PNAC is also board member of international Halal
Accreditation Forum (IHAF). PNAC is also secured signatory membership of Asia Pacific Accreditation
Cooperation (APAC). Now Pakistan is included in the list of countries having equivalent status for
accreditation of testing & calibration laboratories and certification bodies for QMS , EMS and product
certification all over the world.
A2LA is the only independent, 501(c)3, non-profit, internationally-recognized accreditation body in
the United States that offers a full range of comprehensive laboratory and laboratory-related
accreditation services.Established in 1978 as a non-profit, public service membership society. A2LA is
dedicated to the formal recognition of competent testing and calibration laboratories, inspection
bodies, proficiency testing providers, and reference material producers. A2LA offers three main
service lines to support recognition of competence in laboratory and laboratory-related industries.

reference material producers, and proficiency test providers.

transition period within which BSCA accreditation rules and procedures were brought into compliance
with EA requirements.

The Czech Accreditation Institute, a public benefit corporation, as the National Accreditation Body

accreditation system made up of national accreditation bodies operating under uniform rules and
accredited according to defined internationally recognized standards is based on the EC position
specified in the Global Approach to Testing and Certification.
