No limitation on accreditation

In November 2016 Rosaccreditation (the Federal Service for Accreditation) was reported to join APLAC/ILAC association that unites laboratories of Asia Pacific countries. Since then, Russian accreditation system has successfully passed a series of audits, inspections and legislation revisions conducted by international expert group.
Within the framework of the on-site assessment six APLAC evaluation team experts from Australia, Canada, Mongolia, Singapore and the USA monitored the work of Russian accreditation experts in 9 testing and calibration laboratories.
On June 21, 2017 Rosaccreditation officially joined the Mutual Recognition Arrangement of the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC). The corresponding document was signed in Bangkok by the Head of Rosaccreditation Alexey Khersontsev and the Chairman of the APLAC Council Llewellyn Richards.
Officials say that first test reports with APLAC marking will be issued in September 2017, allowing companies to avoid double testing in APLAC/ILAC member states.
