                            INTRODUCTION 
                             
                                       This document provides information and supplementary accreditation requirements for the 
                                       accreditation of facilities that fulfil the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005, General 
                                       requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. 
                                        
                                       This document has been prepared and is used by the Accreditation Centre of the 
                                       Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GAC) in the delivery of its 
                                       accreditation services. 
                                        
                                       Information and the supplementary accreditation requirements in this document are 
                                       intended to assist organisations seeking or holding accreditation with the GAC. 
                                        
                                       Accreditation is formal third-party recognition of the competence of testing facilities 
                                       (including laboratories).  Such recognition offers benefits for many parties interested in the 
                                       outcomes of accredited testing facilities.   
                                        
                                       Accreditation allows the testing facilities to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of 
                                       the relevant standard(s), that they systematically manage their practices, and identify and 
                                       manage their technical competence.  
                                        
                                       Accreditation results in testing facilities being publicly identified as being competent to 
                                       perform defined scopes of testing that allows customers to readily find organisations able 
                                       to meet their needs.  Accreditation offers users of testing services, stakeholders and the 
                                       community added assurance regarding the independence and competence of the facility. 
                                        
                                       Sections 1 to 5 of this document follow the content of ISO/IEC 17025:2005, General 
                                       requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. 
                                        
                                       The Appendices contain further information and requirements including more general 
                                       information on the GAC and its accreditation process (see Appendix A).
