 World Accreditation Day 2019 Video Now Available

World Accreditation Day 2019 focuses on how accreditation adds value to supply chains. To support the day, a video has been created to help celebrate the day. 

Given the complexity of today’s supply chains, reassurance in the measurements, tests, inspections,and certifications that are performed in another jurisdiction or market sector is essential. Without a level of confidence, the free exchange of goods and services risks being hampered by technical barriers or varying levels of quality, thereby increasing costs for importers and consumers.

Accreditation offers a range of services that can add value and manage the potential risks in supply chains through the assessment of certification, inspection, testing, and calibration services. By demonstrating the competence, impartiality, and capability of these organisations, it underpins the credibility of goods and services, allowing procurement and supply chain managers to better manage their risks.

World Accreditation Day 2019 provides an excellent opportunity to promote accreditation to businesses, government and regulators. Further information is available here.
