ANAB is a signatory of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) multilateral recognition arrangements, demonstrating ISO/IEC 17011 compliance via peer assessments attesting to equal reliability worldwide.

Accreditation bodies around the world typically pursue IAF and ILAC recognition through one of the recognized regional cooperations of these organizations. Recognizing the value of regional information-sharing among members of the accreditation community, ANAB has signed the MRAs of the InterAmerican Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC) and the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC), which was established January 1, 2019, by the amalgamation of the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation and the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation.
