World Accreditation Day
June 9 · Level 5 · #1335 of 2238
World Accreditation Day highlights the trust behind test results, inspections and certificates. Accreditation establishes whether the organisations doing that work have the competence to deliver reliable results, from water testing to checks on building materials.
How it is celebrated: accreditation bodies and specialists hold conferences, webinars and public discussions, showing how dependable assessments support consumer protection and trade.
Accreditation is different from certification: a certificate may show that a product meets requirements, while accreditation assesses the competence of the organisation evaluating it.
