HOKLAS has concluded mutual recognition arrangements (MRA) with accreditation bodies listed below by HKAS having bilateral agreements with other accreditation bodies or by being one of the signatories of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and Asian Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation (APLAC) Multilateral Mutual Recognition Arrangement. Since ILAC has signed mutual recognition arrangement with the Inter American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC) and APLAC has signed bilateral agreements with the European Co-operation for Accreditation (EA) multilateral agreement group, signatories of EA and signatories of IAAC will also become MRA partners of HOKLAS. Click here to view the up-to-date signatories of APLAC and here to access the up-to-date signatories of ILAC.
Clicking on the logos or names of HKAS MRA partners displayed below will open their websites. Visitors checking the names and logos shown here below with the names and accreditation marks shown on an endorsed certificate or report should note that some of our MRA partners may have their names, logos or accreditation marks changed recently and test reports or certificates endorsed by displaying their old accreditation marks may still be valid during the change-over period. For details, please visit their websites or contact them directly.
Note:
COPA: (Consorzio Pubblico per L'Accreditatmento) Signatory status to the ILAC MRA was withdrawn effective 21 May 2010 as a result of the termination of COPA's membership in EA.

Mutual Recognition Arrangements/ Bilateral Agreement
Every effort is made to promote acceptance of test data from accredited laboratories, both internationally and locally. HOKLAS has signed the following types of mutual recognition arrangements/ bilateral agreement:
- Bilateral agreement with the European Co-operation for Accreditation (EA) multilateral agreement group;
- Multilateral mutual recognition arrangement with Asian Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation (APLAC) ; and
- Multilateral mutual recognition arrangement with International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC).
HOKLAS MRA partners will recognise HOKLAS endorsed test certificates as having the same technical validity as certificates endorsed by their respective schemes.
