<summary>What is IAF MLA?</summary>

Accreditation Body and Regional Accreditation Group Members of IAF are admitted to the IAF MLA only after a stringent evaluation of their operations by a peer evaluation team which is charged to ensure that the applicant complies fully with both international standards and IAF requirements. Once an accreditation body is a signatory of the IAF MLA, it is required to recognise certificates and validation and verification statements issued by conformity assessment bodies accredited by all other signatories of the IAF MLA, with the appropriate scope.

The IAF MLA consists of a five-level arrangement, with levels 2 and 3 constituting main scopes and levels 4 and 5 constituting sub-scopes. More information on the structure of the MLA can be found in [IAF PL 3: Policies and Procedures on the IAF MLA Structure and for Expansion of the Scope of the IAF MLA](https://iaf.nu/iaf_system/uploads/documents/IAF_PL3_Issue_4_Version2_19062023.pdf), and the current status of the IAF MLA is available in [IAF MLA Status](https://iaf.nu/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IAF-MLA-Status-21062023.pdf).
