09June 2022 marks World Accreditation Day (#WAD2022), a global initiative established by IAF and ILAC to promote the value of accreditation

World Accreditation Day is a global initiative jointly launched by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) to highlight the value of accreditation in the economy

Accreditation plays a key role in supporting the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It aims to meet objectives such as increasing trade and addressing environmental, health and safety concerns. It also improves the general overall quality of output in an economy

Every year, ILAC and IAF decide on an exclusive theme to mark the World Accreditation Day. This year the theme for World Accreditation Day 2022 is "Accreditation: Sustainability in Economic Growth and the Environment." The theme aims to draw attention to how accreditation and conformity assessment can find solutions for global issues

Emirates National Accreditation System (ENAS) under Ministry of Industry and Advance Technology (MoIAT) participated in these virtual global events related to World Accreditation Day 2022 and also provided this participation opportunity to its stakeholders to attend these sessions
