We are pleased to announce the official launch of Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated as of 01 January 2026. A press release is available for download and can be used as a communication tool for your own announcements.

As a reminder, the official acronym and mark of the organisation will be released at a later point in the mark registration process (estimated in April 2026). Until that time, you are requested to use the full name of the organisation.

Please note the following:

Email addresses: As of 01 January, general correspondence should be sent to secretariat@global-accreditation.nz and not the IAF or ILAC secretariat addresses. 

Websites: A temporary Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated website is available at www.globalaccreditationcooperationincorporated.org. Once the official acronym and logo are announced, the website will be expanded, and the URL will be updated. Visitors to the current address will automatically be redirected to the new site.

The IAF and ILAC websites will remain available for archival/reference purposes, to allow individuals to continue accessing documents and other information. No new updates will be posted on these websites.

News: Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated news will be available on the website above and from the Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated newsletter. We encourage all members to subscribe to our mailing list for updates: http://eepurl.com/ju2yr6
