What does this transition mean for accredited conformity assessment bodies?

31 Mar 2026

Accredited conformity assessment bodies (CABs) that were authorised to use the combined IAF/ILAC Marks prior to 1 January 2026 may continue to use those Marks only on outputs issued before the Global ACI MRA Mark becomes available in their economy.

Once the Global ACI MRA Mark is legally available in the economy and the Secretariat has issued formal notice:

  • CABs must not apply the combined IAF/ILAC Marks to any new, renewed, reissued, or amended accredited outputs.
  • CABs must follow the instructions of their accreditation body regarding replacement of Marks.
