What are the scopes of the Global ACI MRA?

The scope of the Global ACI Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MRA) includes two components, main scope and sub-scope.

Currently there are eleven main scopes in the Global ACI MRA: Testing, medical testing, calibration, certification of management systems, certification of persons, certification of products, inspection, validation and verification, proficiency testing provision, reference material production and biobanking.

Sub-scopes are divided into two categories (Level 4 and Level 5), as described in section 4 of Global ACI MRA-001: Multilateral Recognition Arrangement: Structure, Scope and Obligations.
