How to Get Accredited?

It can take between three to six months for organisations to obtain their SAC accreditation or SAC GLP registration. This is dependent on a number of factors, such as the degree of the organisation’s compliance with requirements, the complexity of scope of accreditation and the availability of witnessing and clearance of incidences of non-conformance highlighted during the assessment.
