The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) requires close cooperation among signatory economies and greater mutual recognition of conformity assessment activities. APEC is supported in this endeavor by the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC). As a regional body, established in 1992, APLAC has taken a leadership role in establishing a good mutual recognition arrangement (MRA) protocol. APLAC has also initiated many training programs to ensure consistency in evaluation of its member accreditation bodies. With 28 full members and three associate members, APLAC hopes to become a strong regional arrangement, which will help ensure the success of APEC. |
