The Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC) is a government organization in Egypt affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and operates as a non-profitable entity. It is responsible for evaluating and accrediting conformity assessment bodies in the country, ensuring they meet international recognition standards. This accreditation process is crucial for maintaining the quality and reliability of various testing and calibration laboratories across Egypt. EGAC's role is further bolstered by its independence and technical expertise, which are granted by presidential decree. The council's activities include document reviews, assessment team appointments, and oversight of accredited conformity assessment bodies (CABs), with a focus on maintaining the integrity of the accreditation process.
