The Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment (SWEDAC) is Sweden’s national accreditation body, responsible for accrediting organizations involved in testing, calibration, certification, and inspection services. Established in 1989, SWEDAC operates under the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation. Its primary role is to ensure that conformity assessment bodies in Sweden meet rigorous international standards of competence and reliability, thus supporting the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services across various industries.

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

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