Israel

Introduction

Israel’s laboratory accreditation is managed by the Israel Laboratory Accreditation Authority (ISRAC), a national body established in 1997 under the Ministry of Economy. ISRAC provides full-scope accreditation per ISO/IEC 17025 for testing/calibration labs and ISO 15189 for medical labs, as an International Laboratory association signatory ensuring global recognition.managementsystems+1

Key Standards

ISRAC covers diverse sectors including chemical, mechanical, microbiological, environmental, EMC/RF testing, and medical diagnostics. This aligns with international benchmarks like Ireland’s INAB, enabling Israeli labs to access EU/US markets without re-testing, while supporting defense, food safety, and hi-tech industries.sii+1

Accreditation Scope

Accreditation includes GLP compliance via OECD mutual recognition, positioning ISRAC alongside systems like Indonesia’s KAN for product certification and inspections under ISO 17065/17020. Labs like Hermon and AML exemplify ISRAC’s rigorous, capacity-driven excellence.

Market Impact

This enables streamlined EU/US export recognition via International Laboratory association mutual arrangements, mirroring Ireland INAB’s ecosystem for hi-tech, defense, and regulated products without re-certification needs.

Accreditation Laboratory ISO 17065 / ISO 15185

ISRAC accredits laboratories primarily under ISO/IEC 17025 for testing and calibration, not ISO 17065 (product certification bodies) or ISO 15185 (a standard for in vitro diagnostic medical devices that is not commonly referenced; likely intended as ISO 15189 for medical labs).managementsystems+1

Core Standards Clarification

Laboratories seek ISO 17025 accreditation from ISRAC for competence in chemical, mechanical, microbiological, and EMC testing, while medical labs pursue ISO 15189; ISO 17065 applies to certification bodies like SII, not labs themselves.wwbridge-cert+1

Integrated Framework

ISRAC’s ISO 17011 oversight ensures labs integrate with ISO 17065/17020/17021 ecosystems for full conformity assessment, enabling EU/US market access akin to Ireland INAB without re-testing

Rating Agencies ISO 14064 / ISO 17021

ISRAC does not accredit rating agencies for ISO 14064 (greenhouse gas verification/validation) or ISO 17021 (management systems certification bodies), as its primary mandate focuses on laboratories (ISO 17025), medical labs (ISO 15189), inspection bodies (ISO 17020), and product certification bodies (ISO 17065).managementsystems+1

Relevant Standards Scope

ISO 14064 certification falls under broader management systems certification handled by bodies like Israel’s Standards Institution (SII), accredited via complementary International body arrangements rather than ISRAC’s International Laboratory association scope; ISO 17021 applies to such certifiers for quality/environmental systems.wwbridge-cert+1

Ecosystem Integration

Environmental rating/validation integrates with ISRAC-accredited testing labs for data reliability, supporting EU/US compliance in hi-tech and defense sectors akin to Ireland INAB’s framework, though GHG-specific accreditation typically routes through International body signatories.

GHG Verification / Validator

ISRAC does not directly accredit GHG verifiers/validators under ISO 14064; its focus remains on testing labs (ISO 17025), medical labs (ISO 15189), inspections (ISO 17020), and product certification (ISO 17065).israc.gov+1

Relevant Providers

The Standards Institution of Israel (SII) Quality and Certification Branch handles GHG validation/verification per ISO 14064-1/2/3 and ISO 14065, issuing validated declarations with their mark for emission inventories and project reductions.sii.org+1

Complementary Framework

SII integrates with ISRAC-accredited labs for data reliability, supporting EU/US compliance in hi-tech/defense sectors akin to Ireland INAB, while ISO 17029/14065 governs validation bodies under International body arrangements.
