» Regulators and Industry Specifiers

With products entering the United States from all corners of the globe, there is a need for effective mechanisms to regulate safety and security without introducing new barriers to trade.

A2LA works with government and industry to serve as a resource on issues of quality and competence, provides technical expertise and recommendations on approaches to oversight, and helps to ensure conformance with established policies and requirements through accreditation.
