A new, single international accreditation organisation, Global Accreditation Cooperation Incorporated, has been established to bring together the work of IAF and ILAC.
IAF Chair Emanuele Riva reflects on IAF’s legacy of supporting global economic growth through accreditation over 30 years. A recent study confirms that IAF’s initiatives and the quality infrastructure positively impact GDP, showcasing the economic importance of mutual trust and cooperation in supporting market confidence and resilience.
For more than three decades, IAF has provided a forum in which accreditation bodies, regional accreditation groups, stakeholders and partners could collaborate to address technical challenges, align practices and respond to the changing demands of global markets.
