Application to join the Commonwealth of Nations Accreditation Board (CNAB)

CNAB Memorandum of Understanding and Bylaws.

Accreditation body membership of CNAB is open to organisations that conduct and administer programmes by which they accredit bodies for certification/registration of quality systems, products, services, personnel, environmental management systems of similar programmes of conformity assessment.

These organisations must declare their intention to join the CNAB Multilateral Recognition Agreement (MLA) recognising the equivalence of other members' accreditations to their own. CNAB Association Members are organisations or associations that represent a similar group of entities internationally or within an economy or region. These entities are associated with programmes by CNAB Accreditation Body Members supporting CNAB objectives.

CNAB Members may grant Special Recognition status to organisations that share a common objective with the Corporation. Organisations granted Special Recognition status may be represented and participate at any CNAB Members meeting but are not eligible to vote.

Special Recognition status may also be granted to Regional groupings where the implementation of the CNAB's multilateral recognition arrangement is promoted. Therefore Regional groups of Accreditation Bodies that operate a Regional Multilateral Recognition Arrangement based upon the equivalence of accreditations to CNAB MLA, are eligible for Special Recognition status in CNAB.
