The International Accreditation Forum, Inc. (IAF) is the world association of Conformity Assessment Accreditation Bodies and other bodies interested in conformity assessment in the fields of management systems, products, services, personnel and other similar programmes of conformity assessment. Its primary function is to develop a single worldwide program of conformity assessment which reduces risk for business and its customers by assuring them that accredited certificates may be relied upon. Accreditation assures users of the competence and impartiality of the body accredited. IAF members accredit certification or registration bodies that issue certificates attesting that an organization’s management, products or personnel comply with a specified standard (called conformity assessment).

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service is the sole national accreditation body recognized by government to assess, against internationally agreed standards, organizations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.

Accreditation by UKAS demonstrates the competence, impartiality and performance capability of these evaluators.

UKAS is a non-profit-distributing private company, limited by guarantee. UKAS is independent of Government but is appointed as the national accreditation body by the Accreditation Regulations 2009 (SI No 3155/2009) and operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government through the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.

The Dubai Accreditation Department (DAC) is the successor of the Accreditation and Metrology Section (AMS) in Dubai Central Laboratory Department (DCLD). The accreditation activity was separated in February 2002 from all conformity assessment activities of the DCLD in order to guarantee the impartiality and independency of accreditation decisions and in order to fulfill the relevant international requirements for achieving international recognition status of its services.

In May 2005 there was an official organizational decision no. 52 for the year 2005 from H. H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid AlMaktoum to establish the Dubai Accreditation Center (DAC) within Dubai Municipality reporting directly to the director general of Dubai Municipality.

As per re-structuring of Dubai Municipality in 2008 the DAC got an upgraded status of a department within DM.
