A2LA are a member of ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation).
A2LA was one of the original 28 signatories to the ILAC MRA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement) in November 2000 in Washington D.C.
This means that Reagecon’s A2LA accreditations are accepted by A2LA’s partners in over 70 countries around the world as being equivalent to the accreditations issued within their own countries.
Accreditation by an organization that is not an ILAC MRA signatory can make no such statements and there is no basis for its recognition or acceptance in other countries by other accreditors.
All ILAC MRA signatories have been rigorously evaluated by their fellow signatories to ensure their compliance with ISO/IEC 17011 (“General Requirements for Accreditation Bodies Accrediting Conformity Assessment Bodies”) and to ensure that they are implementing ISO standards within the accreditation program they offer in a manner that is consistent world-wide.
