ACCI Certificates of Origin Scheme transition
ACCI is transitioning to a new accreditation standard in issuing certificates of origin, in line with DFAT’s 2020 FTA CoO Scheme Issue 2.
Since establishing the scheme in 2010 with reference to ISO/IEC 17020:1998, the relevant internationally recognised standard was updated to (ISO/IEC 17020:2012).
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as scheme owner, confirmed their desire for the scheme to enforce the full requirements of this accreditation standard and associated ILAC documents with a transition deadline of November 2023.
From November 2023, accreditation services to the 2010 FTA CoO Scheme will be withdrawn. After this time, JAS-ANZ accreditation will be withdrawn for any remaining accredited bodies that have not attained accreditation to the 2020 FTA CoO Scheme and that do not hold accreditation to any other scheme.
If you require further information, please contact the ACCI team.
