Washington Accord
The Washington Accord is an agreement signed by international accreditation agencies where qualifications accredited or recognised by other signatories are recognised by each signatory as being substantially equivalent to accredited or recognised qualifications within its own jurisdiction.
Signatories of the Washington Accord operating outside of their home jurisdiction must obtain the permission of local Accreditation agencies before a visit can take place.
Any accreditation awarded by Signatories outside their home jurisdiction is not recognised by other Washington Accord signatories.
