The Instituto Nacional de Calidad (INACAL) is Peru's national quality institute, established to oversee and promote standards related to quality, metrology, accreditation, and conformity assessment in Peru. As a part of the Ministry of Production, INACAL's mission is to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of Peruvian goods and services through quality assurance and the promotion of best practices in both domestic and international markets.

INACAL-DA (National Institute of Quality - Directorate of Accreditation) is dealing with accreditation proccesses. 

INACAL is responsible for developing and enforcing national standards, managing national metrology institutes, and accrediting certification bodies, laboratories, and inspectors. This comprehensive approach ensures that Peruvian products and services adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety, facilitating their acceptance in global markets and helping to protect consumer rights within the country. INACAL's efforts in standardization and quality assurance play a crucial role in supporting Peru's economic development by boosting the export potential of local businesses and attracting foreign investment.

Collaborating with international standard-setting bodies, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), INACAL ensures that its standards and regulatory frameworks are aligned with global norms. This alignment helps to minimize technical barriers to trade and promotes Peru as a reliable trading partner on the international stage. INACAL also conducts various training and awareness programs to educate stakeholders about the importance of quality standards in economic development.
