Cambodia Conformity Assessment Introduction
Cambodia operates a developing conformity assessment framework led by the General Department of Accreditation of Cambodia (GDAC) under the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (MISTI), accrediting CABs like testing labs (ISO 17025) and certification bodies (ISO 17021, 17065).
Key Institutions
GDAC, supervised by the Cambodian Accreditation National Council (CANC), handles accreditation for management systems, product certification, inspection, and GHG validation bodies; the Institute of Standards of Cambodia (ISC) develops standards and issues conformity certificates for regulated products like electronics.
CANC-GDAC holds inernational body signatory status for testing (ISO 17025), enabling mutual recognition, while ISC coordinates with the National Standards Council for standard adoption.
