The Secretariat of Brunei Darussalam National Accreditation Council (BDNAC) was established in 1990 by decree of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam.

BDNAC aims to assess and ascertain the value and status of any qualifications; ensure the evaluation processes and assessment criteria are consistent in accordance with national priorities; establish appropriate accreditation guidelines and to publish directories of qualifications and institutions accredited by the Government of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam.
