The Establishment of Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated

On December 6, 2024, the Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated was officially registered as a legal entity in New Zealand. This significant milestone marks a critical step toward a single international organisation for accreditation, laying the foundation for consolidating the work of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). The target date for the Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated to become operational, taking over the roles of ILAF and ILAC, is January 2026 tentatively.
