Accreditations
To demonstrate our commitment to quality and technical competence
Compliance Engineering continues to pursue and expand on its existing accreditation.
Having already obtained accreditation to the Test and Calibration Laboratory standard ISO 17025:2017, Compliance Engineering is now accredited to the Quality Management System of ISO 9001.
Compliance Engineering pursued and obtained accreditation from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), which is one of the world’s most highly respected accreditation organisations.
A2LA is a signatory to several bilateral and multilateral mutual recognition arrangements (MRA’s) including the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC), and the InterAmerican Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC).
These agreements facilitate the acceptance of test reports between A2LA-accredited laboratories and 46 economies around the globe.
In addition, A2LA has recognition from over 30 federal, state and local government agencies, companies and associations.
A2LA and NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) are both signatories to the ILAC MRA and acceptance testing and calibration results from each organisation are mutually recognised.
Compliance Engineerings Certificate Number: 2829.01
Compliance Engineering are accredited to perform the following tests on military, automotive sub-components, information technology equipment (ITE), medical electrical equipment, electric motors, various electronic and electrical components/systems:
A2LA and NATA: Recognized ILAC-Accredited Laboratories
Both A2LA and NATA are accreditation bodies that have been evaluated and recognized by ILAC, meaning they operate under the same internationally accepted standards.
What is ILAC?
The International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) is a global organization that establishes mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) for testing, calibration, and inspection bodies. ILAC ensures that accreditation bodies worldwide follow ISO/IEC 17011, the standard for accreditation bodies, and that accredited laboratories meet ISO/IEC 17025 (for testing and calibration).
Through ILAC’s Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA), test results and calibration certificates issued by accredited laboratories in one country are recognized in another, reducing barriers to international trade.
Conclusion
A2LA and NATA are both globally recognized ILAC-accredited accreditation bodies that ensure laboratories meet international standards for competence and reliability. Since both are ILAC MRA signatories, laboratories accredited by A2LA and NATA can have their test results accepted worldwide, supporting international trade, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance.
In recognition of the successful completion of the A2LA evaluation process, accreditation is granted to this laboratory to perform the following tests on automotive sub-components, information technology equipment (ITE), medical electrical equipment, electric motors, and various electronic and electrical components/systems:
