Celebrating World Accreditation Day 2025

PJLA Joins the Global Celebration

World Accreditation Day (WAD), an annual global initiative led by ILAC and IAF, returns on June 9, 2025, to spotlight the essential role of accreditation in supporting quality, safety, and global market access. This year’s theme centers on “Accreditation: Empowering Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)”, acknowledging the vital contributions these businesses make to innovation, employment, and local economies.

Despite their importance, SMEs often encounter significant hurdles, such as limited resources and tough market competition. Accreditation can play a transformative role in helping them overcome these challenges. Through accredited conformity assessment, SMEs can demonstrate compliance with recognized standards, boost their reputation, access new markets, and gain the confidence of customers, regulators, and investors alike.

For SMEs aiming to enhance product quality, streamline operations, or qualify for funding and incentives, accreditation provides a reliable foundation for growth. By partnering with accredited conformity assessment bodies, these businesses signal their commitment to excellence and reduce perceived risk for stakeholders.

Internationally, the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) and ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) enable accredited results to be accepted across borders—eliminating duplicate testing and inspections, and promoting seamless global trade.

As part of this celebration, ILAC and IAF will host a virtual event on June 9, with more details to be shared on social media (@ILAC_Official on X and ILAC on LinkedIn).
