ILAC - The International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation
• Established in 1977 to promote communication among laboratory accreditation bodies of the world
• Formalized as a cooperation in 1996 with 44 bodies signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
• On 2 November 2000, a mutual recognition arrangement (MRA) among those members which had successfully completed a peer evaluation was signed

ILAC’s Global Role
Principal international forum for:• recognition of competent test, calibration and inspection
labs world-wide through its Arrangement• development and appropriate harmonization of laboratory
accreditation practice• promotion of laboratory accreditation as a trade facilitation
tool• assistance with developing laboratory accreditation
systems

ILAC Goals
• Developing and harmonizing laboratory and inspection accreditation practices
• Promoting laboratory and inspection accreditation to industry, governments, regulators and consumers
• Assisting and supporting developing accreditation systems• Global recognition of laboratories and inspection facilities
via the ILAC Arrangement, thus facilitating acceptance of test, inspection and calibration data accompanying goods across national borders

How is ILAC Structured?• General Assembly: highest decision making body
consisting of one representative from each member.
• General Assembly: meets yearly with a major international conference held every two years
• All classes of membership and other interested parties are allowed to contribute to ILAC’s work and direction.

ISO/IEC 17011:2004 • Conformity assessment - General requirements
for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies
• Purpose:– standard for operation of an accreditation
body (that accredits labs, inspection bodies and/or certification bodies)
– basis for mutual recognition agreements among accreditation bodies
![Page 15: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Four Key Evaluation Topics
• Performance of CAB assessments
• Evaluation of management system
• Proficiency testing results (for labs)
• Traceability of measurement
![Page 16: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Observation of Assessments by Evaluators
• Role of observer• ISO/IEC 17025 satisfied?• ISO/IEC 17011 satisfied?• Body’s own rules followed• Scope of accreditation covered adequately• Effectiveness of assessment team• Competence, technical expertise of
assessors
![Page 17: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Management System Evaluation
• Organization structure: – delegation of authority– committees – conflict of interest – impartiality
• Documented policies, procedures and arrangements and their implementation
• Assessor support system • Measurement traceability • Proficiency testing requirements
![Page 18: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Proficiency Testing• Participation by accredited laboratories in international
and regional programs (e.g. EA, APLAC, IAAC, CIPM)• National PT programs for labs• Other PT being used to monitor performance of labs
and AB policy on PT• Examples of new APLAC PT programs (related to
trade):– Telecommunications equipment– Chemical analysis and hardness of metals– Food analysis
![Page 19: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Measurement Traceability
• Calibration done by competent organizations• NMI is signatory to the CIPM• NMI performance is noted on the KCDB• Sources of traceability for the tests and calibrations
accredited are available or referred to other CIPM signatory.
• Definitions are in the VIM and ILAC P10
![Page 20: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Formal Monitoring and Re-evaluation
• Re-evaluation at maximum intervals of 4 years• For due cause, re-evaluation sooner• Re-evaluation similar to initial, but emphasis on:
– changes– compliance with latest issues of standards and
supplementary requirements– evidence that standards are maintained in accredited
laboratories• Different team leader used for re-evaluation
![Page 21: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
ILAC SignatoriesCome from:• Signatories from recognized MRAs from
regional cooperations (currently EA, APLAC and IAAC) or
• Accreditation bodies not affiliated with a recognized regional MRA (ILAC Arrangement Management Committee must arrange for these evaluations relying on resources provided primarily from the recognized regions)
![Page 22: 1 BETTER WORK AND STANDARDS PROGRAMME (BEST) A Programme of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh BETTER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE (BQI) COMPONENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25fdb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
The ILAC Model Provides:• Harmonized approach• Compliance with international agreed criteria• Demonstrable traceability of measurement• Resolution of differences• An appeal process based on international best
practice• Independence of judgment; and• An impartial and non-discriminatory mechanism
to assist in the identification of competent labs.
