Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK)


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

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

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