Independence

There is no requirement for QAS International to be associated with any collective certification group, in fact its independence can be considered a benefit.

Where a company has already documented its processes and procedures, identified efficiencies, and implemented systems, QAS International can carry out an audit and, if satisfactory according to the Standard, award a certificate. The key requirements are:
1) certification is against the ISO standard
2) trained assessors are used
3) due diligence is observed throughout the process.

QAS International has been operating in France for some three years and enjoys a close relationship with BASF. They have also operated in South Africa for five years and have certificates issued in Holland and Germany. They have helped more than 5,000 clients world wide through to Certification.
