The international community will mark tomorrow the World Accreditation Day, a global initiative established by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, ILAC, and the International Accreditation Forum, Inc, IAF, under the theme ''How Accreditation Improves Food Safety.'' World Accreditation Day takes place each year on 9th June to act as a springboard for awareness-raising actions and to promote accreditation to governments, the public and private sectors, and, more generally, citizens. It also provides national organisations the opportunity to organize activities related to the theme of the day.
This year's theme focuses on how accreditation supports food safety, bolstering the confidence of consumers, suppliers, purchasers and specifiers in the quality and safety of food.
