Your passport to the global marketplace

For many companies, quality management system (QMS) certification has become a necessity - especially when conducting business in the worldwide market.  As more companies are recognizing how ISO 9001 registration can help facilitate global commerce, many are discovering the benefits of partnering with Intertek.  As one of the first accredited certification bodies, Intertek offers expertise, experience and know-how no one else can deliver.  When your QMS is in conformity with ISO 9001:2000, you can reap the rewards of:

  • Expanded market access
    Your certification opens the door to untapped domestic and international business opportunities.  An ISO 9001 certified quality system helps to establish common language and expectation levels between businesses.  By putting companies "on the same page," efficiencies can be realized that may not otherwise be achieved through individual or proprietary quality systems.

  • Reduced cost of sales
    Your certification establishes your company's credibility and commitment to quality from day one.  Because the task of explaining the specifics and demonstrating the effectiveness of your QMS is more straightforward, it takes less time to earn your prospective customers' trust and confidence.

  • Reduced transaction costs
    Since an ISO 9001 certified quality system promotes continuous improvement in your products and processes, many clients see fewer errors, returns and customer complaints.  Your investment in your certification can pay dividends in the form of lower costs per transaction.

  • Improved overall performance
    Based on a uniform and widely accepted system of process control, your ISO 9001 certified quality system will help you improve your products and processes.  This can foster improved relationships with suppliers, business partners and customers, and give your business a real advantage in the marketplace.
