The Saudi Accreditation Center (SAAC) has achieved a national milestone by obtaining international recognition from the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) through the Arab Accreditation Cooperation (ARAC), in the fields of accreditation for testing laboratories, calibration laboratories, and inspection bodies.
This recognition supports the Kingdom’s signing of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements that require international recognition of national quality infrastructure services. It means that conformity certificates issued by conformity assessment bodies accredited by SAAC are now internationally recognized, which will have a significant economic impact by enhancing trade exchange and facilitating the flow of goods and products to and from global markets.
