International Accreditation Forum (IAF)

The International Accreditation Forum (IAF)
Multi-Lateral Arrangement (MLA)

The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is an association of accreditation bodies interested in conformity
assessment in the fields of management systems, products, services, personnel and other similar programs. A2LA
is a signatory to the IAF Multilateral Arrangement (IAF MLA) as of May 16, 2011 for the main scope, Product Cer-
tification. Accreditation body members of IAF are admitted to the IAF MLA only after a stringent evaluation of
their operations by a peer evaluation team which is responsible for ensuring that the applicant member complies
fully with both international standards and IAF requirements. The primary function of the MLA is to develop a
single worldwide program of conformity assessment which reduces risk for business and its customers by assuring
them that accredited certificates may be relied upon.

As of June 1, 2015 signatories to the IAF MLA for product certification are:

 A2LA – USA  COFRAC - France
