ISO Certification

AQCS began life as a group of ISO 9001 quality consultants, but quickly grew to include AS/NZS 4801 and ISO 14001 consultants and a wide variety of services across a range of Australian and International standards, including:

• ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management Systems
• ISO 14001: 2015 Environmental Management Systems
• AS/NZ 4801, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
• AS/NZ ISO 31000 Risk Management Systems
• HACCP/CODEX Food Safety Systems
• AS 3806/ISO 19600 Compliance Management Systems

The Importance of ISO and HACCP Certification

One of our core focuses has always been getting companies certified against international standards. This is an excellent way for businesses to expand their customer base, win more contracts and achieve measureable improvements in quality, service, delivery and customer satisfaction. Without certification, you may be unable to take full advantage of all opportunities that might come your way.

The majority of Australian and State government construction, ICT, management and supply contracts require providers to have documented and implemented AS/NZ ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management and AS/NZS 4801 OHS Management Systems.

Many large corporations will no longer use contractors who are not certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001: 2015, AS/NZS 4801: 2001 and AS/NZ ISO 14001: 2015. Similarly, customers are increasingly looking at certification against AS/NZ ISO 14001: 2015 as an indicator of environmental friendliness. Our ISO 14001 consultants can help you navigate the challenging issues of environmental certification and environmental legislation.

Certification against an international standard is one of the most recognisable qualifications a business can hold. It provides your customer with external independent third party assurance that your procedures, processes and practices meet minimum standards. As more businesses acquire certification, it is clear that it will become increasingly difficult for uncertified businesses to compete.
