Accredited processes, competent auditors and impartial decisions, explained before any work begins.
All four of our services are accredited by EGAC, a signatory to the IAF and ILAC international recognition arrangements: management system certification, GHG validation and verification, certification of persons and Type A inspection.
Certification decisions are taken by competent reviewers independent of the audit team, and GQCL never provides consultancy to the organisations it certifies.
