Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC)


The Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC) is Egypt’s national accreditation body, responsible for accrediting organizations involved in testing, calibration, certification, and inspection services. Established in 2006, EGAC operates under the supervision of the Egyptian Ministry of Trade and Industry. Its primary mission is to ensure that conformity assessment bodies in Egypt meet international standards of competence and reliability, thereby supporting the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services across various industries.

EGAC collaborates with national and international organizations to uphold high standards of accreditation. It is a full member of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). Through these memberships, EGAC participates in mutual recognition arrangements that facilitate the global acceptance of test and calibration results, certifications, and inspection reports issued by accredited Egyptian bodies. These international partnerships help reduce technical barriers to trade and enhance the global competitiveness of Egyptian products and services.

To maintain its leadership in accreditation, EGAC continuously updates its accreditation criteria and processes to align with international best practices. It provides essential services, including the accreditation of laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection agencies. By ensuring the quality and reliability of these services, EGAC supports regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and industrial innovation.
