Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated Officially Launched

Following the establishment of the new international organisation for accreditation, namely Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated, in October 2019 and its subsequent registration in New Zealand in December 2024, the new organisation was officially launched on 1 January 2026 to take over the role of the International Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). For more information, please refer to the official press release at https://ilac.org/wp-content/uploads/Press-Release-Global.pdf.

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.
