    DANAK is the national accreditation body in Denmark in compliance with EU regulation No. 765/2008.

    DANAK participates in the multilateral agreements (EA MLA1) and ILAC MRA2)) for testing and calibration under
    European co-operation for Accreditation (EA)( http://www.european-accreditation.org/home)and under International
    Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) (http://ilac.org/) based on peer-evaluation3). Accredited test reports and
    calibration certificates issued by laboratories accredited by DANAK are recognized cross border by members of EA
    and ILAC as equal to test reports and calibration certificates issued by these members’ accredited laboratories.

    The use of the accreditation mark on test reports and calibration certificates or reference to accreditation,
    documents that the testing/calibration has been provided as an accredited service under the company's DANAK
    accreditation.

    1) The EA Multilateral Agreement (EA MLA) is a signed agreement between the EA Full Members whereby the
    signatories recognise and accept the equivalence of the accreditation systems operated by the signing members, and also
    the reliability of the conformity assessment results provided by conformity assessment bodies accredited by the signing
    members. The EA MLA is recognised at international level by ILAC (http://ilac.org/)(International Laboratory
    Accreditation Cooperation) and IAF (http://www.iaf.nu/) (International Accreditation Forum). This means that a test
    report or certificate accredited by an EA MLA signatory is also recognised by the signatories to the IAF and ILAC
    multilateral agreements. In this way, the EA MLA acts as an international passport to trade.
    Signatories of the EA MLA as per February 2016, see page 2. Updated list can be located via following link
    http://www.european-accreditation.org/ea-members

    2) The ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (ILAC MRA) provides significant technical underpinning to the
    calibration, testing, medical testing and inspection results of the accredited conformity assessment bodies and in turn
    delivers confidence in the acceptance of results.
    The ILAC MRA enhances the acceptance of products across national borders. By removing the need for additional
    calibration, testing, medical testing and/or inspection of imports and exports, technical barriers to trade are reduced. In
    this way the ILAC MRA promotes international trade and the free-trade goal of “accredited once, accepted everywhere”
    can be realised.
    Signatories of the EA MLA as per 28-01-2016, see page 3. Updated list can be found via following link
    http://ilac.org/signatory-search/

    3) The strength of the EA MLA and ILAC MRA is maintained through a robust peer evaluation process. The main
    objective of the peer evaluation activities is to evaluate the on-going compliance of the national accreditation bodies to
    the internationally agreed requirements and to ensure that regulators, stakeholders and the business community can have
    confidence in certificates and reports issued by conformity assessment bodies under the EA MLA and the ILAC MRA.
