World Accreditation Day 2017

The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) have designated June 9 as World Accreditation Day. Celebrated annually, this event is intended to raise awareness around the globe of the importance of accreditation-related activities. This year’s theme focuses on delivering confidence in construction and the built environment.

SCC provides high-quality accreditation services for hundreds of organizations, establishing confidence in the services that they provide through impartial third-party assessment. Accredited conformity assessment helps ensure quality and safety in construction and the built environment. As a full member of IAF and ILAC, SCC can assess according to ISO standards and is itself subject to regular evaluation.

SCC will be promoting World Accreditation Day on social media.  We will also feature articles about two of our accredited standards development organizations to highlight the value that accreditation delivers for them and their clients:

• CSA Group: Opening doors for Canadian businesses through accreditation

• Building a strong construction industry in Quebec through accreditation
