World Accreditation Day 2018 focuses on how accreditation delivers a safer world. To support the day, a video has been created to help celebrate the day. The expectation of safe workplaces, safe products, safe transport, safe food, in fact all aspects of our lives is universally shared. Statistics however show that the expectation is not being matched by the reality.

There are a vast range of ways that accreditation helps to deliver a safer world. Completed projects, raw materials, products, processes, services, management systems, and persons can be evaluated against a standard, code of practice, or regulatory requirement by accredited testing and calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, certification bodies and validation & verification bodies.

World Accreditation Day 2018 provides an excellent opportunity to promote accreditation to businesses, government and regulators. Further information is available here.
