A2LA, ANSI-ANAB, IAF-ILAC and the Accreditation Cover-Up That Failed AmericaA National Call for Oversight, Transparency, And Accountability In Laboratory Certification And Public Safety
By: GUBERMAN-PMC,LLC In 2018, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American National Accreditation Board (ANAB) formally became one entity—though they continue to operate under separate names. ANSI is now the sole owner of ANAB. https://www.prnewswire.com/ Together, ANSI-ANAB founded the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), Inc. in Delaware. IAF's sister organization, the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), operates out of Australia. These two bodies form the core of global accreditation, working with national and international accreditation boards worldwide. ANSI and ANAB are not just participants— From 2015 to 2021, the Chairmanship of the IAF was handed to Xiao Jianhua, a Communist Chinese national (involved in our quality since 1994) who also served as the Chief Executive of CNAS—China's national accreditation body. He is also mandated via China National Intelligence Law #7 any Chinese national must perform espionage and cybersecurity. CNAS was the organization that accredited the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which operates a BSL-4 (Biosafety Level 4) laboratory—the highest level of biological containment. In early 2017, CNAS issued a certification to the WIV lab despite U.S. and international concerns about staffing and safety. A delegation of American scientists visited the WIV between 2017 and early 2018 and confirmed the lab lacked enough highly trained technicians to safely manage high-contagion agents. https://www.politico.com/ According to a CDC training document (Volume 25, May 2019), the number one safety protocol for BSL-4 facilities is qualified human containment— In the U.S., Pamela Sale, Vice President of Laboratory Accreditation at ANAB, made a chilling admission in sworn testimony—highlighting the loose standards and oversight failures we detail below. Key Points of the Crisis 1. A2LA's Dangerous Stamp of Approval The American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) has accredited laboratories across the country—even those plagued by broken equipment, falsified results, and systemic negligence. Their rubber-stamped certifications have been passed off as safety validations. Department of Homeland Security – Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL)

2. Pamela Sale's Damning Deposition (2017) Pamela Sale, a vice president Laboratory Accreditation ANSI-ANAB, testified under oath: "One of the issues is that there is no commonly agreed-upon set of standards that forensics labs around the country have to follow. Instead, there are informal guidelines that labs can choose to follow or not." This confession exposed the accreditation industry's deep lack of enforcement and its illusion of public protection. https://www.austinmonitor.com/ 3. Marvin Schechter's 2011 Warning Defense attorney Marvin Schechter stated before New York's forensic science commission: "Getting a lab certificate is no more than a badge of honor. It does nothing to guarantee reliability." 4. The Global Accreditation Web: ANSI-ANAB, IAF & ILAC ANSI-ANAB are founding members of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC)—the same network that includes China's CNAS, which approved laboratories in Wuhan, China. REFERENCE PICTURE: #2 Let that sink in: the same U.S.-backed accreditation bodies helped certify labs at the center of the pandemic's origin story. Federal Entanglement: When ANSI-ANAB and A2LA fail, whom can the American people turn to? Shockingly, many federal agencies are not just partners of these groups—they're members, funders, or customers:
This creates a closed loop of self-certification and zero accountability. The Consequences: This is no longer about bureaucratic mistakes. It is national negligence on a scale that may have enabled the COVID-19 pandemic through a broken, globally entangled certification system. When accreditation becomes a business model, and safety becomes a sales pitch, we all suffer. The Call to Action We call for:
