3 Introduction The IAF and its accreditation body members invest significant effort and resource to maintain the integrity and consistency of the MLA through a peer evauation process. This report sets out the detaied activity that is carried out as part of the peer evauation process, to ensure that reguators, specifiers, and businesses can have confidence in the Arrangement. The IAF MLA The purpose of the IAF MLA is to provide users, in countries with accreditation bodies that are IAF MLA signatories, assurance that equivaent certification and verification bodies in other countries operate to the same standard as those in their own country. Accreditations granted by IAF MLA accreditation body signatories are recognised wordwide based on their equivaent accreditation programmes, therefore reducing costs and adding vaue to industry and consumers. Certificates in the fieds of management systems, products (incuding services and processes), personne, verification and other simiar programmes of conformity assessment issued by bodies accredited by IAF MLA signatories are therefore reied upon in internationa trade. The MLA contributes to the freedom of word trade by eiminating technica barriers. IAF works to find the most effective way of achieving a singe system to meet the objective: Certified once, accepted everywhere IAF Mutiatera Recognition Arrangement (MLA) Annua Report

4 The IAF MLA Mark The IAF MLA Mark can be used by accreditation bodies to demonstrate their status as a signatory to the IAF MLA. If approved by the Accreditation Body, accredited certification bodies can aso use the Mark in combination with the accreditation symbo to use on their certificates, providing the certificates are issued in association with an IAF endorsed scheme. The Mark demonstrates that the certificate has been issued by a Certification Body that is accredited by an IAF MLA signatory and is thus traceabe to the highest authority. It is an assurance that the certificate and the issuing body are of a high standard of competence and may be trusted, as they are recognised as compying to the same set of standards at the goba eve. Scope of the IAF MLA The IAF MLA currenty is comprised of accreditation for the foowing scopes: 1) Main Scope: Certification Bodies of Management Systems: Sub Scopes: a. ISO 9001 Quaity management systems Requirements b. ISO Environmenta management systems Requirements with guidance for use c. ISO 13485:2012 Medica Devices Quaity management systems Requirements for reguatory purposes d. ISO/TS 22003:2007 Food Safety Systems Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of food safety management systems and ISO Food safety management systems Requirements for any organization in the food chain e. ISO/IEC 27006:2011 Information technoogy Security techniques Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of information security management systems and ISO Information technoogy Security techniques Information security management systems Requirements 2) Main Scope: Certification Bodies for Products processes and services Sub Scope: GobaG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance Genera Requirements and GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Contro Points and Compiance Criteria 3) Main Scope: Certification Bodies for Persons Sub Scope: none 4 IAF Mutiatera Recognition Arrangement (MLA) Annua Report 2015

5 4) Main scope: GHG vaidation and verification bodies Sub Scope: none Certificates based on a main scope are equay reiabe because the conformity assessment bodies conform to the same standard. Certificates based on a sub-scope are considered equivaent if they are based on the same IAF endorsed standard. New Scope Extensions In 2015 the IAF continued working with Goba Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) to recognise the GFSI benchmarking process to faciitate the acceptance of GFSI benchmarked schemes as sub-scopes under the IAF MLA. Signatories to the IAF MLA The IAF MLA has been structured to buid on existing and deveoping regiona MLAs estabished around the word. Therefore, IAF has granted Specia Recognition to the MLA programs of three Regiona Accreditation Groups, the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA), the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC) and the InterAmerican Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC), on the basis of the acceptance of the mutua recognition arrangements estabished within these organisations. Membership of the IAF MLA is recognised as being satisfied by membership of either the EA MLA, the PAC MLA or the IAAC MLA for recognised programs. IAF members who are aso signatories of these regiona MLAs are automaticay accepted into the IAF MLA for recognised programs. Another three Regiona Accreditation Groups have been working on estabishing their MLAs and two have made forma appication to the IAF for Specia Recognition of their MLA programs. In recognition of this, ARAB Accreditation Cooperation, (ARAC), African Accreditation Cooperation (AFRAC) and Southern African Deveopment Community in Accreditation (SADCA) have been incuded in this report. There are a sma number of IAF Member accreditation bodies that are not a member of a Regiona Accreditation Group referred to as unaffiiated accreditation bodies. Unaffiiated accreditation bodies can appy directy to IAF to become an IAF MLA signatory. The number of signatories to the IAF MLA has grown in recent years, providing confidence to businesses and Reguators in a greater number of economies.

10 Peer Evauation Process Accreditation bodies are admitted to the IAF MLA ony after a most stringent evauation of their operations by a peer evauation team which is charged to ensure that the appicant member compies fuy with both the internationa standards and IAF requirements. IAF, and its accreditation body members, invest significant cost and resource to ensure they maintain the integrity of the MLA through robust peer evauation.
