At GSAB, we understand that true value in accreditation comes from international recognition. Accreditation is most effective when it is trusted not only locally, but also across borders. That is why GSAB actively participates in the global conformity assessment community, ensuring that our accredited organizations are recognized worldwide. IAAC Associate Membership GSAB is proud to hold Associate Membership in the Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC), a regional body that strengthens cooperation among accreditation organizations across the Americas. This affiliation demonstrates our commitment to building trust in conformity assessment within the region and aligning with international best practices. Cooperation with ILAC & IAF GSAB works in close alignment with the principles of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). These global associations establish multilateral recognition arrangements (MRAs/MLAs) that promote acceptance of accredited results around the world. By cooperating with ILAC and IAF, GSAB helps reduce technical barriers to trade and supports global market access for U.S. industries. Through these partnerships, GSAB ensures that accreditation granted under our programs is not just nationally trusted, but globally recognized—giving industries, regulators, and consumers confidence in results that cross borders.
