NiNAS has just concluded its peer evaluation, conducted by a team of expert peer evaluators appointed by the African Accreditation Cooperation AFRAC.

A peer evaluation is an independent assessment of an accreditation body by experienced professionals from other internationally recognised accreditation bodies. Over the course of this exercise, the AFRAC team carried out a broad range of technical and management activities to assess NiNAS against internationally recognised requirements.

This matters because confidence in accredited laboratories, inspection bodies, certification bodies, and validation and verification bodies begins with confidence in the accreditation body itself. It is also the basis upon which regional and international accreditation cooperations determine an accreditation body’s eligibility for Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) and Multilateral Recognition Arrangements (MLAs), enabling accredited results and certificates to be accepted across borders and supporting international trade.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the AFRAC Peer Evaluation Team, our stakeholders, and the entire NiNAS team.

When the accreditor is trusted, the entire quality ecosystem is strengthened.

We are pleased to invite you to the next NPNEN Non-Oil Exporters Townhall, where we will host the Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS) for an important conversation on one of the foundations of successful exporting.

Theme: Accreditation: Your Passport to Global Markets

As global markets continue to demand higher standards for quality, conformity assessment, and compliance, accreditation has become a critical requirement for exporters seeking to compete internationally.

During this session, you will gain practical insights into:

The role of accreditation in improving market access and international acceptance.

How accreditation strengthens the credibility and competitiveness of Nigerian products and services.

The services offered by NiNAS and how exporters can access them.

If you are an exporter, an aspiring exporter, a business support organisation, or simply interested in international trade, this is a conversation you should not miss.
