ILAC itself does not undertake any calibration, testing or inspection activities and therefore does not issue any calibration, test or inspection reports. Instead, you will need to contact an accreditation body that is a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) in the country where you require calibration/testing/inspection to be carried out. The accreditation body will be able to provide you with the contact details for facilities accredited for the testing, calibration, or inspection services you need.
The contact details for the accreditation bodies that are signatories to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) are available from https://ilac.org/signatory-search/, and this directory is searchable by economy. Also included in the information provided for most accreditation bodies is a link to their online directory of accredited facilities, allowing you to search their directory yourself.
ILAC is a member based organisation of accreditation bodies involved in the accreditation of laboratories (using ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189), inspection bodies (using ISO/IEC 17020), proficiency testing providers (using ISO/IEC 17043) and reference material producers (using ISO 17034) . It is these accreditation bodies (ILAC Members) that directly accredit laboratories, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers and reference material producers , not ILAC. You will therefore need to contact the accreditation body in the country where you require accreditation services. They will be able to provide you with all the details on the requirements, process and costs for accrediting your laboratory, inspection body, proficiency testing or reference material production services. .
If you would like to be accredited by an ILAC MRA Signatory (ILAC Full Member), please see the list of ILAC MRA signatories available from https://ilac.org/signatory-search/, which is searchable by economy and scope.
Information on the criteria for each category of membership is available from https://ilac.org/ilac-membership/membership-criteria/.
Once you have had an opportunity to review this information, please email the ILAC Secretariat indicating which category of membership you are interested in. We will then be able to provide further details on the process of applying for membership for the category you have specified, as well as the costs involved.
Please note that the ILAC membership categories do not include a category for individual laboratories, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers or reference material producers However, associations of laboratories, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers and reference material producers may be able to join via the Stakeholder category.
We do not have a single database that lists all the laboratories, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers and reference material producers accredited in the world. To find an accredited laboratory, inspection body, proficiency testing provider or reference material producer, you will need to contact the accreditation body in the economy where you require the calibration, testing or inspection to be carried out, or would like to source the proficiency testing services, or reference material. The accreditation body will be able to provide you with the contact details for facilities accredited for the work you require.

ILAC does not offer training courses. If you contact the accreditation body in the country where you would like to attend a training course that is a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA), they will be able to advise when training courses are scheduled for ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 15189, ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17043 and ISO 17034.
