The Kingdom wins the presidency of the Arab Accreditation Body "ARAC"
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by the CEO of the Saudi Accreditation Center, won the unanimous vote of member states to assume the presidency of the Arab Accreditation Cooperation (ARAC) during the 11th General Assembly of the body held in Riyadh today. The CEO Dr. Adel Alkeaid will head the Arab Accreditation Cooperation (ARAC) for its upcoming term. This national achievement underscores the prominent position of the Kingdom's quality infrastructure, made possible by the unwavering support of its wise leadership. Dr. Adel Alkeaid expressed his gratitude to Amina Mohammed for her leadership of the current term and her efforts in guiding the organization, and thanked all member states for their confidence in him to lead the cooperation in the coming period. It is worth mentioning that the Arab Accreditation Cooperation was established in 2008 by a decision of the Ministerial Council of the Arab Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining Organization (AIDMO). It includes under its umbrella 21 national accreditation bodies and agencies, and represents the comprehensive umbrella for international mutual recognition in the Arab countries. It aims to plan and coordinate the accreditation activity of conformity assessment bodies in the Arab countries, which in turn will contribute to facilitating intra-Arab trade among themselves as well as with other countries.
