The National Accreditation Center of Iran (NACI) is Iran's national accreditation body, responsible for accrediting organizations involved in testing, calibration, certification, and inspection services. Established to meet international standards of competence and reliability, NACI operates under the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade. Its primary mission is to ensure that conformity assessment bodies in Iran meet rigorous international accreditation standards, thereby supporting the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services across various industries.

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

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

In 2010, Iran Accreditation System - IAS changed its name to National Accreditation Center of Iran - NACI.
