Among IJCA’s targeted audience are conformity assessment scholars, practitioners, other interested groups and individuals. The conformity assessment fields covered include testing and calibration laboratories, inspection bodies, product certification bodies, management system certification bodies, organizations offering certification of persons, among others.
