International Accreditation New Zealand
Subject and Purpose:
The Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) promotes trust and builds confidence among accreditation bodies through their ability to determine a laboratory's competence to carry out testing or calibration. In turn, this confidence facilitates the acceptance of testing and calibration results between economies when the results can be demonstrated to have originated from accredited laboratories. The MRA is supporting global trade by removing the need for retesting. Retesting every time a product enters a new market is expensive and time consuming and can be construed as a technical barrier to trade. ILAC is committed to its goal of achieving the principle of products and services being "tested once, accepted everywhere".
New Zealand signed the Testing ISO/IEC on 2 November 2000, the Calibration ISO/IEC on 2 November 2000, and the Inspection ISO/IEC on 24 October 2012
