APAC is the regional accreditation body for the Asia Pacific region, recognized and endorsed by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). APAC (formerly APLAC, PAC) began in 1992 as a regional forum for accreditation bodies and is recognized by the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) as one of four APEC Specialized Regional Bodies (SRBs) that support the work of the APEC Sub-Committee on Standards and Conformity. APAC currently has 85 members, including Bodies from China, India, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and others.
APAC’s strategic goal is to provide formal recognition to accreditation bodies in the Asia-Pacific region to facilitate the recognition of conformity assessment results obtained by conformity assessment bodies accredited by full members of APAC.
STRUCTURE OF INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION
Regional associations of accreditation bodies (APAC, AFRAC, ARAC, EA, IAAC, SADCA) are engaged in promoting mutual recognition of conformity assessment results of incoming participants.
Regional associations interact and recognize each other at the international level through participation in IAF and ILAC.
