The Declaration of Cooperation between the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the International Federation for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) for the establishment of the Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM), was re-signed in April 2016.  

The goal of the JCTLM is to provide a worldwide platform to promote and give guidance on internationally recognised and accepted equivalence of measurements in laboratory medicine and traceability to appropriate measurement standards. 

A copy of the signed Declaration of Cooperation is available from the partnerships page of the ILAC website.
