World Accreditation Day Observed inBangladesh with Great Enthusiasm

The World Accreditation Day was observed in the country on Sunday, 9 June 2019 with great enthusiasm, as elsewhere across the world, to raise awareness about the importance of accreditation. This is a global initiative jointly established by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the Inter-national Accreditation Forum (IAF) and has been celebrating across the world since 2008. Every year Bangladesh Accreditation Board (BAB) jointly organizes this program with Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI).

In her message, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said providing -quality goods and services at all levels of the supply chain- is one of the prereq-uisites for achieving confidence of buyers and consumers. For this, an effective and trusted Quality Management System is essential, the premier said, adding: “In this context, the accreditation system is being considered as an important tool throughout the world.”

On the eve of the day, His Excellency President of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Mr. M Abdul Hamid and Honorable Prime Minister of the Government of People’s Republic of Ban-gladesh Sheikh Hasina gave separate messag-es wishing all successes of the programmes taken in connection with observance of the World Accreditation Day 2019.

Secretary of Ministry of Industries Mr. Md. Abdul Halim said that besides RMG, other sectors will also get benefits to increase export competitive-ness. The Ministry has formulated of Leather and SME Policies and soon these policies will be placed to the Cabinet meeting. The Ministry has already formulated an IP policy and Policy for Informal Sector is also is in consideration, he informed. He said that we have to give facilities to our local manufacturers first.

BAB Director General (Additional Secretary) Mr. Md. Monwarul Islam said that the World Accreditation Day is being observed in 195 countries in the world. He also said accredita-tion has become an international market factor for cross boundary trade and a mechanism for delivering confidence in quality of product and services worldwide.

DCCI President Mr. Osama Taseer said that contribution of international trade in our GDP is 36.5 percent. Bangladesh exports to about 200 countries in the world. According to The Char-tered Institute Procurement and Supply 70% percent of a company’s expenditure goes for raw materials procurement. He said accredita-tion creates confidence among the parties involved in a supply chain process and reduces concerns of international importers.

In the program, Industries Minister handed over accreditation certificates to multinational and local testing laboratories and inspection bodies.

Industries Minister in the seminar asked the BAB to undertake sector-based accreditation scheme to resolve various technical and non-tariff barriers the exporters facing in the world market.

BAB has recognised the laboratories as part of the organization’s process to strengthen the country’s position in export business. Admitting the contribution of country’ private sector in economy, industries minister said that the local entrepre-neurs are playing vital role in economic development and quality industrialisation. Ban-gladeshi products are domi-nating the world market by their endeavors.

Later the minister handed over the accreditation certificate among the 16 awardees. The awardees are- Bangladesh Army 24-enginerring construction’s BD Testing Laboratory, Bangladesh Research and Testing Laboratory, Bangladesh Material Testing Laboratory, Biman’s Tools Calibration Labora-tory, BSTI’s National Metrology Laboratory, Lab Aid’s Pathology Laboratory, Pran Dairy’s Pran Bev-erage Laboratory, Walton’s NUSDAT-UTS, garment testing laboratory Taha Giyim, Drug Administra-tion’s National Control Laboratory, United Hospital’s Pathology Laboratory, SGS Bangladesh Ltd’s Calibration Laboratory, Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services, ITS Ban-gladesh Ltd, DoF Quality Control Laboratory, Dhaka and Analytical Chemistry Laboratory, BAEC.

Companies often face differ-ent kinds of technical, tariff and non-tariff barrier in the competitive world especially in export and import markets. To face this challenge, accreditation is a worldwide recognised and acceptable way. If any product gets certi-fied by any accredited labora-tory, it will get easy access to world market.
