The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is the worldwide association of accreditation bodies and conformity assessment stakeholders. Its primary mission is to ensure that certificates of conformity – such as ISO certifications – are credible, reliable, and accepted internationally. Headquartered in the United States, IAF promotes mutual recognition of accredited certification, reducing technical trade barriers. IAF oversees accreditation bodies that certify management systems, products, and inspection services against standards such as ISO/IEC 17021, ISO/IEC 17065, and ISO/IEC 17020. Through its Multilateral Recognition Arrangements (MLAs), IAF enables businesses and regulators to trust conformity assessments performed in any member country, supporting quality, safety, and environmental protection across sectors.
Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC)
The Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC) is the national apex body for accreditation in Pakistan, operating under the Ministry of Science and Technology. PNAC enhances the country’s quality infrastructure by accrediting certification bodies, inspection agencies, testing and calibration laboratories, and medical laboratories according to globally recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17021, ISO/IEC 17025, ISO/IEC 17024, and ISO 15189.
