As well as holding internationally recognised accreditation we undertake testing for national and international regulatory programs.

International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ)

International Accreditation New Zealand is the national authority for the accreditation of testing and calibration laboratories, inspection bodies and radiology services. IANZ accreditation is proof of our technical competence for regulators or specifiers, and that we are performing to international standards.

International Co-operation

The International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) is a forum for international cooperation between the various laboratory and inspection body accreditation schemes operated throughout the world. Members of ILAC, including IANZ, are signatories to Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs), which allow for global acceptance of accredited test and inspection reports.

The aim of the international accreditation cooperation is to facilitate trade and ensure safety for consumers is realised through MRAs between accreditation authority members of ILAC, carried out in accordance with ILAC rules and procedures.
