The Icelandic Accreditation (ISAC) is Iceland's national accreditation body, tasked with ensuring that conformity assessment bodies such as laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection bodies meet international standards for competence and reliability. Established under the Ministry of Industries and Innovation, ISAC plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services in various industries across Iceland. Its accreditation processes are designed to uphold the integrity and trustworthiness of the services provided by these organizations, which is vital for consumer protection and maintaining the international competitiveness of Icelandic products.

ISAC is an active member of global accreditation frameworks, which include the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). Through these memberships, ISAC participates in mutual recognition arrangements that help facilitate the acceptance of test and calibration results, as well as certifications and inspection reports across borders. This international collaboration is crucial for reducing technical barriers to trade, thus facilitating smoother transactions in the global market and ensuring that accredited entities in Iceland are recognized worldwide for their quality and reliability.

To keep pace with global best practices, ISAC continuously revises its accreditation criteria and processes. It provides vital accreditation services that support regulatory compliance, enhance consumer protection, and foster industrial innovation.
