Certification is independent third-party assurance of your system. It can only happen after you have a system in place and its purpose is to tell clients or stakeholders that your system has been checked and it is compliant. So you will need certification if your clients want you to have it or markets you want to enter or tenders you want to participate in require it. We can help you with your certification requirements and manage the process from end to end including engaging a certifier and auditor.
They are acronyms of course! Who doesn’t love jargon right? QMS is a quality management system; your system for managing the business systems. An IMS is an integrated management system; so it is when the one system manages multiple risks such as safety, environment and quality or quality and information security and HSEQMS is a health, safety environment and quality management system. We make it simple for you to manage all or some of these things.
