World Accreditation Day - 9th June

Accreditation supporting the implementation of the UNs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

#WAD2021

9th June - This year’s theme focuses on the use of accreditation in supporting the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

It provides the opportunity for ILAC and IAF members to share examples with stakeholders, regulators and consumers of how accreditation may be applied to meet objectives such as increasing trade, addressing environment and health and safety concerns, and improving the general overall quality of output in an economy.

A joint statement released by the Chairs of IAF and ILAC introduces the importance of accreditation in supporting the implementation of the SDGs.

IAF and ILAC have produced a brochure to highlight worldwide examples of the role accreditation plays in supporting the implementation of the SDGs.  Further examples and research are available on the Public Sector Assurance and Business Benefits websites. Related videos will also be available on the IAF/ILAC YouTube channel from mid-May.

For further information, see the brochure and joint statements prepared for World Accreditation Day.

INAB will be promoting World Accreditation Day on our website and social media platforms.
