The Tunisian Accreditation Council (TUNAC) is Tunisia’s national accreditation body, responsible for accrediting organizations involved in testing, calibration, certification, and inspection services. Established in 1999, TUNAC operates under the Ministry of Industry, Energy, and Mines. Its primary mission is to ensure that conformity assessment bodies in Tunisia meet international standards of competence and reliability, thereby supporting the quality, safety, and efficiency of products and services across various industries.

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

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