TÜRKAK’s Activities in ISO/IEC 17029 Standard were Included in the IAF Multilateral Recognition Agreement

The Multilateral Recognition Agreement (MLA) signed by TÜRKAK with the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) has been expanded to include validation and verification scopes.

In this context, TÜRKAK's MLA with IAF was updated to include the ISO/IEC 17029 standard, ISO 14065 / ISO 14066 / ISO 14064-3 standards and ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2 standards. It is expected that the accreditation activities to be carried out in these areas will make a significant contribution to the accurate measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in our country and therefore to the fight against the climate crisis.

Expanding the scope of IAF MLA for the second time this year, TÜRKAK's activities in the AS9100 standard series, which is the sub-scope of the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), were included in the scope of the IAF multilateral recognition agreement in February 2024.

TÜRKAK's activities under the ISO/IEC 17029 standard were added to the scope of the European Accreditation Association Multilateral Recognition Agreement (EA MLA) on October 5, 2022, and TÜRKAK became one of the first 2 accreditation bodies in Europe to include the relevant standard within the scope of EA MLA.
