Opening doors to global markets
Accreditation builds the confidence businesses need to compete, grow, and trade internationally.
International recognition arrangements
Assessed once, recognised globally
International recognition means accredited results can be recognised across borders, giving businesses confidence that they do not need to repeat the same assessment or certification process in every market.
JASANZ is a signatory to the Global ACI Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MRA). The MRA provides international recognition of accreditation bodies that meet agreed requirements, supporting confidence in the competence and impartiality of accredited conformity assessment.
For businesses, this can mean less duplication, lower costs and fewer barriers when entering new markets. Certificates and other results issued by JASANZ-accredited organisations can be recognised internationally, helping products and services reach global markets.
