World Accreditation Day
World Accreditation Day (WAD) is celebrated every year on 9 June to promote the role of accreditation in trade and the economy. The theme for WAD 2021 is “Accreditation: Supporting the Implementation of the 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.
Accreditation is evidence of the technical competence and impartiality of organizations providing conformity assessment services as testing, calibration, inspection, product certification, management systems and personnel certification.
Journalist accreditation is an official permission for a journalist to attend and work at the events. There are many activities for which there is no need to be accredited; these are concerts, seminars, city holidays, etc. There is the more serious and the more formal event that accreditation is required there. For example, this can be state events, the arrival of the president, round table discussion, etc.
