ABCB Celebrates World Accreditation Day
The 9th June marked World Accreditation Day, an initiative jointly established by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), to promote the value of accreditation, accredited conformity assessment and standards.
This year the theme focuses on how accreditation adds value to supply chains and procurement activities and to help mark the day and ABCB worked in conjunction with UKAS and other stakeholders to publish ‘Quality in the Supply Chain’ – A guide to what makes a ‘good’ ISO 9001 audit from the perspective of the customer and an organisation certified by an accredited certification body https://www.ukas.com/news/launch-of-publication-quality-in-the-supply-ch….
Supply chains provide a vital role in delivering products and services for consumers, business and the public sector in a timely, cost-efficient and quality manner. Accreditation and, with it, other quality infrastructure tools such as standards, metrology and conformity assessment, provide widely accepted tools that help deliver value to the supply chain. These tools help with trust and assurance, enabling confidence in both final products and services and the manner in which they are placed on the market and used.
