Organizations across multiple continents rely on IAC accreditation to demonstrate competence and build stakeholder confidence.
“IAC’s accreditation process brought rigor and credibility to our laboratory operations. The independent assessment identified improvement areas we had overlooked.”
“Having IAC-accredited status on our public profile has measurably improved client confidence. The verification process is transparent and trustworthy.”
“The governance structure and public directory give our procurement team a reliable way to verify supplier qualifications before awarding contracts.”
Why IAC
Three structural commitments that differentiate IAC from every other accreditation provider.
International Recognition
Our accreditation framework is aligned with ISO/IEC 17011 and harmonized with ILAC guidelines, ensuring your accreditation carries weight across borders.
Recognition details →Independent Decisions
Assessment teams and decision committees are structurally separated. No assessor participates in the accreditation decision on the bodies they evaluated.
Decision process →Public Transparency
Every accredited body, its scope, effective dates, and status are published in our live Public Directory. Anyone can verify, anytime.

The accreditation cycle is a four-year process designed to ensure continuous competence. It begins with application and assessment, followed by a decision by an independent committee, and then ongoing surveillance.
