INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION
Most trading nations have established systems to accredit technically competent and reliable
inspection, measurement and testing facilities. These accreditation authorities are usually
government-owned or government-endorsed and operate free from any commercial influence.
A total of sixty-eight accreditation authorities in fifty-three economies, including IANZ in New Zealand,
have established an international network of Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs), based on
regular peer evaluations against the international standard ISO/IEC 17011:2004 General requirements
for bodies providing assessment and accreditation of conformity assessment bodies.
Mutual Recognition means that each partner agrees to recognise accreditations granted by the other
partner(s) as equivalent to their own. They enable test and inspection reports from the exporting
country to be accepted in the importing country, avoiding requirements for re-testing and saving
exporters time and money.
Accreditation operates in both the voluntary and regulatory sectors worldwide. Laboratories and
inspection bodies are not required by law to be accredited, but accreditation is increasingly recognised
by regulators worldwide as evidence of competence to carry out testing or inspection for mandatory
purposes.
IANZ represents New Zealand in the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), which
groups nationally recognised accreditation authorities worldwide, and in the regional grouping, Asia
Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC). APLAC is recognised by regional governments
as a Specialist Regional Body within Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
IANZ is a founding signatory to this regional MRA, which replaces earlier bilateral arrangements with some of the
economies mentioned above.
Europe
Within Europe, the regional grouping, European cooperation for Accreditation (EA) has established a multilateral
MRA linking thirty-one accreditation authorities in twenty-seven economies: Austria; Belgium; Czech Republic;
Denmark; Estonia; Finland; France; Germany; Greece; Ireland; Italy; Latvia; Lithuania; Malta; The Netherlands;
Norway; Poland; Portugal; Romania; Slovak Republic; Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Tunisia; Turkey;
United Kingdom.
IANZ has full Mutual Recognition with all of the signatories to this regional MRA, which replaces earlier bilateral
arrangements with some of the economies mentioned above.
International
Signatories to the Asia Pacific (APLAC) and Europe (EA) MRAs, as well as some economies outside these
regions, are signatories to the International (ILAC) MRA. ILAC signatories include Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Egypt, Guatemala; Israel and South Africa.
CONTACT DETAILS
The logos and contact details of IANZ Mutual Recognition partners are in the following chart. New
partners will be added as soon as peer evaluations are satisfactorily completed. For the latest listing,
contact the International Manager at IANZ, phone (09) 525 6655, or visit our website
www.ianz.govt.nz.
Accreditation by IANZ is formal recognition that an organisation is competent to carry out specific
tasks. A laboratory or inspection body is accredited to issue specific types of test reports, inspection
reports, technical service reports or certificates. The specific areas of competence are specified in the
Scope of Accreditation (e.g. a laboratory may be accredited to undertake specific chemical tests but
not to test electrical products).
IANZ accreditation is granted after detailed assessment of the competence of the organisation and its
staff against defined technical and management system criteria. This assessment is conducted by
IANZ staff in association with experts from the particular technology being assessed. Accredited
organisations are subject to regular review.
Laboratories are accredited as complying with the international standard, ISO/IEC 17025: General
Requirements for the Operation of Calibration and Testing Laboratories. Inspection bodies are
accredited as complying with ISO/IEC 17020: General Criteria for the Operation of Various Types of
Bodies Performing Inspection.
Accredited organisations are entitled to use the appropriate IANZ Accreditation logo with test or
inspection results within their scope of accreditation.
