World Accreditation Day
Learn something new with the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) every World Accreditation Day, June 9.
Each year, they release a joint statement from the organizations' chairs and host a thematic webinar. Recently, they've focused on how the annual theme aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Celebrate this event that highlights how accreditation enhances confidence in the quality of products, infrastructure, systems, and services for consumers, suppliers, buyers, and regulators.
Join us in championing a future where accreditation remains a steadfast beacon of trust, shaping a world where excellence knows no bounds.
