History edit
The Bangladesh Accreditation Board was established on 6 September 2006 by the government of Bangladesh through an act of parliament.[1][4] The United Nations Industrial Development Organization hired a French-Canadian consultant, Ned Gravel, to improve the practices in the board and this was done under a project funded by the European Union.[5] In 2015 the board signed an agreement with the Thai Industrial Standard Institute to improve trade ties between Bangladesh and Thailand.[6] The chairman of Western Marine alleged that the accreditation issued by the board is sometimes not accepted in other countries.[7]
