World Accreditation Day Underscores the Value of Accredited Certification

June 9, 2025 - marks World Accreditation Day, a global initiative launched by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) to highlight the importance of accreditation in building trust and ensuring quality.

This year’s theme, "Accreditation: Empowering Tomorrow and Shaping the Future," focuses on how accreditation supports progress across key areas like sustainability, innovation, and resilience.

As a global certification body, we see first-hand how accredited certification helps organizations meet international standards, manage risks, and earn the confidence of customers, regulators, and stakeholders. It provides a solid foundation for global trade and consumer protection.

“World Accreditation Day is a timely reminder of how critical trust is in today’s complex world,” said Rowan Cammarano, Commercial Director at NQA. “Accredited certification gives that trust real substance by ensuring independence, competence, and consistency in how standards are applied.”

From climate action to digital security, accreditation plays a vital role in shaping a better future. By working with accredited certification bodies, organizations can show their commitment to quality, responsibility, and long-term success.
