See the links I posted earlier. The ACAA is an instantiation of ISO 18009
funded by the Ada Resource Association. AdaLog is an accredited ACAL under
ISO 18009.

Note that AJPO transferred pretty much all of its programs and materials to
the ARA, including its website (www.adaic.org), validation testing,
marketing programs, and so on. Anyway, it seemed better to put "conformity
assessment" under an International Standard rather than a program managed by
a specific country.
