International Membership
SAC maintains formal ties with key international bodies to uphold consistent accreditation standards. Explore SAC's memberships and how these relationships support globally recognised accreditation.
Signatories to regional and international MRAs are subject to regular and stringent multi-national peer evaluations. The purpose is to verify signatories’ continual conformance with the internationally accepted criteria. These peer evaluations ensure consistent accreditation practices and facilitate the exchange of information and experience among the signatories.
SAC has developed a number of formal relationships with international/regional organisations. Some of them include International Accreditation Forum (IAF) (opens in new tab), Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) (opens in new tab), International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation (ILAC) (opens in new tab), ASEAN Consultative Committee for Standards and Quality (ACCSQ) (opens in new tab) and Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (opens in new tab). SAC participates in various committees within these organisations and OECD GLP Working Group. In addition, SAC participates in relevant ISO/CASCO working groups.
