Worldwide acceptance and meaningful added value
The world has become more complex for both businesses and consumers. With our certificates, DQS provides credibility and trust, security and orientation. Our teams make certification processes as pleasant as possible. With our smooth support, we offer our customers real relief.
The value of a certificate is always measured by the degree of public trust in the certifying, accredited or notified body. Accreditations, authorizations, and memberships are therefore a valuable tool for us. They prove our competence, create trust, and confirm the worldwide acceptance of our activities.
In order to make sure that our audits and assessments continue to enjoy the widest possible recognition in the market, we regard the national accreditation bodies as important partners. By way of its international accredited offices, DQS can also offer certification by various national accreditation bodies in different countries, both globally and locally.

Why accreditation makes sense
The accreditation of DQS gives you the guarantee that the certificates we issue are credible and objective. We always audit in an unbiased, independent, and appropriate manner - based on internationally recognized rules such as ISO/IEC 17021, ISO/IEC 17065 and the guide for "Auditing of Management Systems", ISO 19011.
Likewise, our authorizations for many standards serve as confirmation that our auditors know exactly what they are doing and adhere to applicable rules. So you can be sure that relevant areas within your organization are audited by experts who are themselves subject to strict quality requirements
This way, you can be sure that relevant areas within your organization are audited by experts who are themselves subject to strict quality requirements, and whose expertise is regularly enhanced in auditor training and continuing education courses.
Internationally recognized accreditations and authorizations are also useful when selecting service providers. Our tip: Accreditation entitles a conformity assessment body to display the accreditation logo of the respective accreditation body on the certificates it issues. If there is such an accreditation logo on your certificate, it is an accredited certificate with worldwide recognition, which is also accepted for public and private tenders.
