About APAC
The Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) was established on January 1, 2019 by the amalgamation of two former regional accreditation cooperation bodies – the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) and the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC).
APAC’s primary role is to manage and expand the mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) among accreditation bodies in the Asia-Pacific region. These MRAs facilitate acceptance of conformity assessment results across the region and in other parts of the world.
