World Accreditation Day 2023: Recognising Accreditation’s Role in Supporting the Future of Global Trade 

On June 9, NATA joined accredited organisations across the globe to celebrate World Accreditation Day (WAD) 2023. 

WAD, established by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperative  (ILAC), highlights the important role of accreditation around the world.  

This year’s theme, “Accreditation: Supporting the Future of Global Trade,” focuses on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

What did NATA do to celebrate?

Across June we hosted – Accreditation Matters: Now and Into the Future – a series of live events in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to put the spotlight on the critical importance of accreditation.

Areas covered include:

Accreditation in the crosshairs 

A keynote presentation by NATA CEO Jennifer Evans on accreditation’s headline billing over the past 12 months while looking to the future and the impact of automation, artificial intelligence and why accreditation has a vital role to play. 

Is your laboratory future fit: What can be done today to be ready for tomorrow? 

How does your lab measure up? Learn why the measure of a great lab is determined by quality increments, not inconsistent activities.  

Why you should “risk” everything 

Risk is part of everyday operations. Successful organisations that understand and embrace risk, better manage risk. Discover how a proactive approach creates successful outcomes.  

If quality is your outcome, then governance must be your business  

In a quality-driven environment, good governance must be a fundamental mandate of your operation – not simply a ‘nice-to-have’. Learn how governance is essential to quality outcomes.

If you missed one of these live events, we will be providing session insights soon.
