DQS Management Systems Solutions (HK) Limited is part of the global DQS Group, one of the world’s leading independent certification bodies. Established in 1985 by the German Society for Quality (DGQ) and the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), DQS has grown on a foundation of German precision and integrity, now operating in more than 60 countries worldwide.

For ISO 9001 certification, DQS holds key accreditations from DAkkS (Germany) and ANAB (USA), alongside over 100 accreditations globally.

The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) maintains a Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA), under which accreditation bodies that are full members and MLA signatories — including DAkkS, ANAB, and the Hong Kong Accreditation Service (HKAS) — mutually recognise each other’s accreditations. This means that ISO 9001 certificates issued by DQS under DAkkS or ANAB accreditation are formally recognised as equivalent to those under HKAS. In practice, this ensures seamless cross‑border acceptance: a DQS certificate accredited by DAkkS or ANAB carries the same validity in Hong Kong as one accredited by HKAS, and is trusted by regulators and accepted for government tenders.
