World Accreditation Day 2026

Today 9 June 2026 we join the community in celebrating World Accreditation Day under this years theme "Innovation, Trust and Sustainability: The power of Accreditation."

 

Accreditation is key in building the market trust and in enabling innovation to reach the market safely and sustainably. Labs and other CABs are vital to this process, using accreditation services for ensuring a high-level of technical competence, impartiality, and global reliability of the testing, calibration and other conformity assessment results. EUROLAB is committed to supporting the labs and other CABs in the evolving fast-pace regulatory landscape through various projects, trainings and regulatory guidance on key topics such as sustainability and digitalisation.

 

"EUROLAB we advocate for the importance of an efficient accreditation system built on mutual trust, freer access to services, openness of the cross-border accreditation as well as specialisation and cooperation between national accreditation bodies, labs and other CABs. On this important day, we welcome the open dialog and collaboration in building a sustainable accreditation system that would revitalise innovation and enhance trust and impartiality in the European accreditation system, aligning it more closely with the principles of a free and efficient market for which the European Union stands." Dr. Andreas Kinzel, EUROLAB President

 

Happy World Accreditation Day!
