World Accreditation Day 2024 Accreditation: Empowering Tomorrow and Shaping the Future

GICG will join organizations around the world to celebrate World Accreditation Day (#WAD2024) on 9 June 2024.

It is a global initiative established by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) to promote the value of accreditation.

The theme for WAD 2024 is:

Accreditation: Empowering Tomorrow and Shaping the Future

It highlights how accreditation can influence various aspects of life in our evolving world, aiming to emphasize its role in fostering confidence in new technologies, digitalization, and sustainability claims amidst transformative global changes.

For decades, accreditation has served as a fundamental component of societal trust, now integral to nearly all facets of daily life. Accredited conformity assessments can facilitate the development and implementation of new technologies, especially in sectors and supply chains where precision, safety, and quality are paramount. They also bolster cybersecurity and privacy in our increasingly interconnected world. Additionally, as sustainability continues to be a significant concern, accreditation assists both consumers and businesses in making informed decisions.

By promoting awareness and understanding of accreditation, World Accreditation Day contributes to building trust and confidence in products, services, and systems, ultimately supporting global trade, consumer protection, and sustainable development.
