Within the aviation, space and defence (ASD) industry, maintaining high safety levels is the foremost challenge. Even the smallest flaws in products or services can have fatal consequences. This has led to high expectations for quality, safety and reliability of parts, systems and services, which your company must achieve across the entire ASD supply chain. Every organisation working in the ASD industry must therefore demonstrate its commitment to quality and reliability. WHAT IS AS/EN 91XX? The AS/EN 91XX (AS/EN 9100, AS/EN 9110 and AS/EN 9120) quality management systems are based on ISO 9001, with specific requirements on aviation, space and defence industries. Published by the International Aerospace Quality Group, the AS/EN 91XX standards unify various competing quality documentation and requirements to a standardised benchmark. The standards cover, but are not limited to: Configuration Management Project Management Risk Management Special Processes Control of work performed outside the supplier’s activities

DEMONSTRATE YOUR COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING HEALTHCARE QUALITY Healthcare providers today rely on the ISO 9001 quality management system as a framework for success. However, in order to truly achieve organisational efficiency, drive productivity and profitability, the continued reliance on ISO 9001 is insufficient. Healthcare providers seeking to differentiate themselves have to ensure that the core health-related issues such as patient safety and management of clinical risks are addressed and properly handled as well. This particular point is not covered under the ISO 9001 standards. WHAT IS DIN EN 15224? The DIN EN 15224 Quality Management System is a sector specific standard of quality management for healthcare organisations. It is based on the ISO 9001 standard and it includes tangible requirements for patient safety and management of clinical risks in the planning, realisation and management processes. The DIN EN 15224 system brings together the advantages of ISO 9001 with comprehensive healthcare quality requirements. It defines issues ranging from the effectiveness and suitability of care, to the safety and reliability of care processes. In DIN EN 15524, there are 11 quality features which characterise the quality of healthcare and must be verified as part of a certification. The 11 central features of DIN EN 15224 are: Appropriate, correct care Availability Continuity of the care Effectiveness Efficiency Consistency Evidence-based, knowledge-based care Patient care, including physical and psychological integrity of the care Integration of the patient Patient safety Timeliness and accessibility

ACCREDITED BY: (FSC) DEMONSTRATE THE RESPONSIBLE ORIGIN OF YOUR WOOD AND PAPER PRODUCTS The demand for wood, paper and other forest products sourced from well-managed forests continues to grow. Consumers and business partners want assurance that your products come from responsibly managed sources that limit their damage to the forest environment and forest-dependent indigenous communities. Your business must also prove that your goods come exclusively from legal sources as required by the EU Timber Regulation, the Lacey Act in the U.S., or similar legislative requirements. WHAT IS FSC™ CHAIN OF CUSTODY CERTIFICATION? The Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) is a nonprofit organisation that set standards for forestry practices with the aim of promoting environmentally responsible and socially beneficial forestry. Wood products such as furniture can be labelled as FSC certified if they meet the high standards set by the organisation. To be certified, the flow of the wood material – from the forest to the customer – must be monitored to demonstrate its origins. This evidence is known as Chain of Custody (CoC). WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? This assures customers that your company only uses legal sources and responsibly managed forests for its material. It enables you to offer your customers better value in terms of origin of material and promotion of responsible forestry. By using FSC™ material, you can also open up new business opportunities for your company in markets requiring the certification. OUR FSC™ COC SERVICES We offer services to support your company at every stage of the certification process, from pre-audit throughout the entire five-year certification cycle.

SHOW YOUR COMMITMENT TO PROTECT OTHERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT With increasing global focus on commerce and industries’ sustainability efforts, the onus is on businesses to produce environmentally-friendly products. This is particularly the case for the electronics industry where the current production processes of most electronic and electrical products include use of hazardous substances. Regardless of whether these hazardous substances are essential to the functionality of a product or a result of the manufacturing process, the presence of such substances cannot be ignored. WHAT IS IECQ QC 080000? The IECQ QC 080000 Hazardous Substance Process Management (HSPM) system is based on the international quality management system ISO 9001. It covers the key requirements of the various environmental protection directives such as the Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The IECQ QC 080000 system seeks to minimise or eliminate the production of the hazardous substances to demonstrate to your customers, employees and shareholders that your organisation is committed to ensuring the sustainability of the environment. The system is structured to complement any existing management systems in place such as ISO 9001. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Most current manufacturing and production processes are thoroughly examined and evaluated for their use and production of hazardous substances specified for special restriction. With the IECQ QC 080000 certification, not only do you receive a guideline for your business’ path ahead, you commit to ensuring the safety of all staff involved. This includes those on the assembly line, users of your product, and individuals potentially affected through its impact on the environment.

Or perhaps you are currently engaged with a completely different question, such as: Why has our churn rate almost doubled in the last three years? Why do we sell product x more frequently in Berlin than in Munich? Why has the rate of customer satisfaction in the field xy dropped drastically?

The services provided by the data centre are not within the scope of the certification. WHY IS DATA CENTRE CERTIFICATION IMPORTANT?

WHAT IS COC – CODE OF CONDUCT? A Code of Conduct (CoC) is a set of standards which govern corporate and business practices according to ethical and legal standards. By implementing a CoC, a company demonstrates its commitment to operate its business at the highest standards of ethics, exceeding legal minimums.

An ETI audit will inspect your processes, suppliers and facilities against the nine principles of the ETI Code, as well as ensuring you are compliant with relevant national and international legislation.

ACCREDITED BY: NABCB, DAKKZ, JAS-ANZ, ANAB WHAT IS IATF 16949? IATF 16949 specifies the requirements of a quality management system for automotive production. Born from the need for a globally harmonised quality management system requirements document, IATF 16949 was published in October 2016. It supersedes the automotive standard ISO/TS 16949, which is no longer valid. IATF 16949 requirements include the following key aspects: Product safety Risk management and contingency planning Requirements for embedded software Change and warranty management Management of sub-tier suppliers Our free whitepaper provides further Information about the certification requirement and process. WHY IS CERTIFICATION TO IATF 16949 IMPORTANT? Obtaining the IATF 16949 certification demonstrates that your company has met extensive requirements to create a process of continuous improvement with an emphasis on defect prevention and reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. The technical specification is implemented for all branches of manufacturers and suppliers of products or production materials, services such as heat treatment or galvanising, and other products specified by automotive customers such as the constituent parts of vehicles. Certification to this technical specification is recognised by leading automotive manufacturers and OEMs. Most leading manufacturers will only work with companies that hold IATF 16949 certification, as they insist that suppliers adhere to the strict technical specifications laid out in the standard.

ACCREDITED BY: NABCB, DAKKZ, JAS-ANZ, ANAB ELIMINATE INEFFICIENCIES AND DUPLICATION Integrated management systems (IMS) certification is a holistic approach that combines multiple aspects of an organisation’s performance in order to meet the requirements of several management system standards. These include standards such as ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety), ISO 27001 (Information Security) and ISO 50001 (energy management). HOW CAN YOU OPTIMIZE YOUR RESOURCES? Simultaneously meeting the requirements of multiple management system standards puts a significant strain on an organisation’s resources. Instead of streamlining processes and resources, this creates unnecessary duplication of effort and budget allocation. You must therefore balance the achievement of management system standards against the resources required to gain certification. An IMS increases efficiencies through the use of simplified processes and documentation, thereby eliminating the elemental approach, lowering effort duplication, improving system performance and reducing costs. IMS certification means that certification for multiple management system standards is usually evaluated in a single, comprehensive audit. Organisations spend less time preparing for audits and responding to their findings, significantly reducing the overall investment of time and money. HOW CAN WE HELP YOU? TÜV SÜD is an internationally accredited Certification Body for a wide range of management systems, and our certificates are accepted and recognised globally. Our auditors have proven experience of how IMS certification reduces cost and risks for both large and small organisations.

ACCREDITED BY: NACAB, DAKKS, JAS-ANZ, ANAB WHAT IS ISO 14001? ISO 14001 is internationally recognised as the leading environmental management system (EMS) standard and is suitable for organisations of all sizes. The ISO 14001 standard provides a systematic framework for integrating environmental management practices by supporting environmental protection, pollution prevention, waste minimisation, as well as energy and materials consumption reduction. In addition to implementing ISO 14001, many organisations choose to further improve their environmental performance management by enacting the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). WHY IS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT? Organisations certified to ISO 14001 demonstrate their commitment to continuous improvement and reduced environmental impact. The certificate can significantly improve your bargaining position when taking part in public and private green procurement tenders. As consumers are becoming increasingly aware of environmental and ecological issues, ISO 14001 certification helps your brand stand out as a responsible provider. Companies that implement the ISO 14001 EMS aim to minimize wastage, from materials to energy consumption, throughout the supply chain and can thereby reduce cost. Beyond demonstrating that your organisation is committed to sustainability, ISO 14001 certification may also reduce the risk of regulatory and environmental liabilities.

WHAT IS ISO/IEC 20000? ISO/IEC 20000 is the leading international IT service management system standard, with the objective to ensure the quality of the IT services your company delivers. It outlines requirements for setting up the management system and best practices for managing a company’s IT service. ISO/IEC 20000 certification should not be confused with IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Although the ITIL describes best practices that can achieve the same level of service quality required by ISO/IEC 20000, ITIL certifications normally apply to individuals, while ISO/IEC 20000 enables the entire organisation to be certified. WHY IS ISO/IEC 20000 IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS? An ISO/IEC 20000 certification assures your internal and external customers that your organisation will deliver IT services at a satisfactory level of quality. Benefits of ISO/IEC 20000 certification include: Cost-efficient, reliable and effective IT service management architecture Documentation of procedures Continuous improvement Avoidance of recurring errors and incidents through improved knowledge management Reduced costs caused by inefficiencies Objective, impartial evidence of the quality of your IT service TÜV SÜD IS A GLOBAL PROVIDER OF ISO/IEC 20000 CERTIFICATION SERVICES TÜV SÜD’s experienced auditors possess the highest levels of expertise, with the training to carry out audits for information security and other quality management systems across the industry.

WHAT IS ISO 22301? ISO 22301 is an international framework that has been developed to help businesses identify potential threats to critical business functions and design a business continuity management plan. The standard helps companies build effective backup systems and processes to safeguard against theft, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, terrorist attacks and other extraordinary incidents. ISO 22301 specifies the requirements to plan, implement, monitor, review and improve a company’s business continuity management system, thereby minimising the impact of disruptions. WHY IS ISO 22301 BUSINESS CONTINUITY CERTIFICATION IMPORTANT? ISO 22301 certification provides formal business continuity guidelines that will keep your organisation operational during and following a disruption. It seeks to minimise the impact to critical business functions, ensuring they are still capable of being delivered or recovered promptly. The ISO 22301 standard is applicable for companies of all sizes across any industry, particularly those operating in high risk or complex environments where the ability to function without delay is of paramount importance.

COMMIT TO SERVICE AND PRODUCT EXCELLENCE The cosmetics industry has always been under constant scrutiny, with issues ranging from inaccurate marketing claims to hazardous component materials. Ingredients used in making older cosmetic products, such as lead, have been tested and proven hazardous and are now banned. Hence, manufacturers and suppliers alike need to ensure that their products are consistently manufactured and controlled to the required quality levels. WHAT IS ISO 22716? The ISO 22716 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for cosmetics guide was introduced to provide guidelines for the production, control, storage and distribution of cosmetic products. The guide places emphasis on the quality of the cosmetic product in relation to the customer, and the traceability and accountability in the production and distribution process of the product. The ISO 22716 guide to GMP is structured to complement any existing management systems in place such as ISO 9001. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Most current manufacturing and production processes are thoroughly examined and evaluated for their use and production. With ISO 22716, not only do you receive a guideline for your business’ path, you also commit to ensuring the safety, quality and excellence of your product. In accordance with the ISO 22716 guide, the manufacturing system of your company will be audited and inspected on the following areas: Complaint and recalls Contracting/ subcontracting Documentation and records Internal audits and Laboratory quality controls Material management Packaging and labelling Personnel Premises, buildings or facilities Production and in-process controls Storage and distribution

HOW CAN QUALITY OF EDUCATION BE ENSURED AND COMPARED? ISO 29990 is a quality management system standard for providers of education and training services. ISO 29990 provides a unified model for a quality and professional mode of operation, as well as a common reference point for both LSPs and their clients for the conceptualisation, development and delivery of the specified programme. International Education Excellence (IEE) is a standard which allows parents and students alike to compare the quality of schools globally. The IEE certification process takes into consideration all relevant areas of school quality, including the school’s management, quality of staff and teaching processes, among others. The certification encourages schools to evaluate and improve their internal management system by identifying any key deficiencies found as well as providing remedies for their resolution. WHY IS CERTIFICATION OF LEARNING IMPORTANT? There are a multitude of LSPs offering similar programmes. However, not all of the providers are competent and effective. With the ISO 29990 certification, the transparency and comparability of the various programmes offered by the many providers are increased. ISO 29990 is not only useful for organisations looking for a reputable partner to work with, but it also imposes on LSPs to ensure their consistency in providing quality services and improving organisational effectiveness. In addition to ensuring that education providers deliver value to their students, the IEE certification process helps schools identify problems early on to allow a speedy resolution and minimise potential reputational and financial risks. It can be used as an effective management tool to ensure excellence in all levels of your institution’s operations.

WHAT ARE ISO 31000 AND ONR 49001? ISO 31000 and ONR 49001 are enterprise risk management frameworks which provide organisations with a consistent methodology for assessing risks affecting their operations and outcomes.

ACCREDITED BY: NACAB, DAKKS, JAS-ANZ, ANAB WHAT IS ISO 45001? ISO 45001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, which is intended to improve the safety and health of both employees and other personnel. Introduced in March 2018, ISO 45001 marks a significant step forward in the overall effort to improve occupational health and safety (OHS) worldwide. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the standard enables organisations to proactively improve injury prevention and reduce ill-health, while protecting their longevity. ISO 45001 supersedes previous occupational health and safety standards, including OHSAS 18001. Organisations that currently hold OHSAS 18001 certification will need to transition to the ISO 45001 standard by March 2021. Download our complimentary whitepaper to learn more about the transition and certification requirements. BENEFITS OF AN ISO 45001 CERTIFICATION To survive in today’s competitive global marketplace, organisations must proactively manage all types of risk to the business, and the issue of occupational health and safety is no exception. ISO 45001 will provide new impetus for occupational health and safety practices in organisations and will help improve safety for employees and contractors. This translates into additional opportunities for protecting and promoting worker’s health and performance, as well as a sustainable improvement of employee motivation.

ACCREDITED BY: NABCB, DAKKZ, JAS-ANZ, ANAB WHAT IS ISO 9001? The ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) is the world’s most popular quality management standard, with over one million certified organisations in 180 countries worldwide. ISO 9001 provides a quality management framework that companies can use to ensure the quality of their products and services is consistent.
