The Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC) is Spain’s national accreditation body, responsible for accrediting organizations involved in testing, calibration, certification, and inspection services. Established in 1996, ENAC operates under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation. Its primary role is to ensure that conformity assessment bodies in Spain adhere to rigorous international standards of competence and reliability, thus supporting the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services across various industries.

ENAC collaborates with a range of 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, ENAC participates in mutual recognition arrangements that facilitate the global acceptance of test and calibration results, certifications, and inspection reports issued by accredited Spanish bodies. These international collaborations help reduce technical barriers to trade and enhance the global competitiveness of Spanish products and services.

To maintain its leadership in accreditation, ENAC 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, ENAC supports regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and industrial innovation.
