Accreditation programs currently operated in IAJapan include JCSS (Japan Calibration Service System), JNLA (Japan National Laboratory Accreditation System), ASNITE (Accreditation System of NITE) and MLAP (Specified Measurement Laboratory Accreditation Program). It also provides Database "RMinfo" as well as "COMAR" for ensuring metrological traceability of chemical, biological and other fields.

IAJapan aims at gOne-Stop-Testingh through joining and maintaining of Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) of ILAC/APLAC for mutual acceptance of test/calibration results or characteristic values of Reference Materials, ultimately contribution to free trade around the world.
