Do accreditation bodies need to sign new agreements to continue using the IAF MLA Mark or ILAC MRA Mark during the transition?

31 Mar 2026

No. Accreditation bodies may have signed:

  • an agreement with the International Accreditation Forum, Inc. for the IAF MLA Mark,
  • an agreement with the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation for the ILAC MRA Mark,
  • or both.

All such agreements that were valid as of 31 December 2025 remain recognised and effective for the purposes of the temporary arrangements. No new licensing agreement, amendment, or replacement of existing agreements is required.
