Belarusian State Accreditation Center Adopted to Global Accreditation Cooperation

The Belarusian State Accreditation Center (BSCA) was admitted to the Global Accreditation Cooperation (Global ACI) as an associate member – the corresponding decision was made at the General Assembly of Global ACI in Panama and published on the website of this international organization. This sb.by reported in the press service of the State Standard.

The press service recalled that the BSCA was determined by the State Standard National Accreditation Body of the Republic of Belarus.

Global ACI began operations on 1 January 2026, combining the functions of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). The new framework aims to create a unified, more efficient global accreditation system, strengthen confidence in the results of accredited conformity assessment and reduce technical barriers in international trade through a single mutual recognition mechanism.

- The status of an associate member for the BSCA is an intermediate link and is necessary for the subsequent passage of a parity assessment by Global ACI and the signing of an agreement with this international structure, the State Standard noted. This will allow the Belarusian documents on conformity assessment to continue to be marked with an international combined mark confirming their reliability. The accession of the BSCA to the Global ACI will preserve confidence in Belarusian documents on conformity assessment abroad, which, in turn, will contribute to reducing the costs of domestic producers in export supplies. It also meets the objectives of accreditation enshrined in the Law “On Accreditation in the National Accreditation System”, as well as the goals of the State Standard for the implementation of a number of program documents.

The State Enterprise “Belarusian State Accreditation Center” carries out accreditation of legal entities (their structural subdivisions) who have expressed a desire to obtain confirmation of their competence in carrying out activities in a certain field of accreditation, and official certification of their compliance with the accreditation criteria.
