“A2LA is proud to add the IAF recognition to its list of worldwide recognitions obtained,” says Peter Unger, president and CEO of A2LA. “A2LA staff was committed to achieving this MLA signatory status to better serve our customers, regulators and specifiers, and the public as a whole.”

In March 2010, A2LA was peer-evaluated by the regional group, the Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC), to expand its scope of recognition to include accreditation of product certification bodies.
