The Global Laboratory Accreditation Initiative

In November, 2000, 36 Laboratory Accreditation Bodies, all members of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, (ILAC), and representing 28 separate global economic regions, signed a mutual recognition arrangement to promote the acceptance of technical test and calibration data for exported goods. The aim of this ILAC Arrangement was to develop a global network of accredited testing and calibration laboratories that can be relied upon to provide accurate results.
Today, more than 60 Laboratory Accreditation Bodies from 47 global economies are
signatories to this ILAC Arrangement. The strength of the ILAC Arrangement is to establish a global network of accredited test and calibration laboratories that have been assessed and recognized as competent by Accreditation Bodies that are signatory to the ILAC Arrangement. Each member laboratory of this global network and each laboratory that comes forward for assessment should have at least one person designated as the Laboratory Auditor.

The Laboratory Auditor must understand the detailed requirements to pass the assessment and will have the skills and initiative to ensure that the Laboratory achieves and maintains a Quality Program in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025.
