Our approach is to work in partnership with all of our clients at every stage of the assessment and certification process, to ensure that not only do we fully understand the needs and aspirations of each client but we also ensure that we have a full understanding of their business operations and its needs.

ICS understands and recognises the added value that innovative consistent certification services can bring to any clients business. Added value and innovation can only be achieved through the use of experienced and competent assessors who have the ability to work with a client in their quest for innovation and improvement.

All of the ICS team of assessors have been carefully selected to ensure that they are capable of delivering what we promise to every one of our clients worldwide. Above all they are all capable of thinking beyond the “audit box” – to support innovation and improvement. It is our policy to use the same assessors at each visit a client receives to assure consistency in approach at all times.

To deliver this added value all ICS assessors are fully committed to the eight quality principles set out in ISO 9000. Their goal being simply one to ensure that each client obtains maximum added value from every stage of the certification process.

Any management system that embraces the eight principles set out in ISO 9000 can and should improve the way you operate your business and by default improve the amount of business undertaken through improved efficiency and hence becoming more profitable.

Through this approach, ICS assessors can undertake a constructive review of all aspects of the management system in a positive and forward thinking manner.
