Certification of management systems
To increase customer loyalty, to enhance efficiency
Today, certified management systems are regarded as a yardstick of quality in almost all sectors of the economy. For product manufactures, plant construction companies and utility companies in the gas and water industry, protection of the environment and safety at work are increasingly important competitive factors alongside quality in a market which is becoming steadily tighter.
The DVGW CERT GmbH certifies quality management systems to DIN EN ISO 9000 et seq. and DVGW-VP 800 and environmental management systems to DIN EN ISO 14001.
A team of handpicked system and specialist auditors, drawn inter alia from the DVGW testing and research facilities, ensures competent certification based on the requirements in the DVGW Codes of Practice, which also takes account of the industry-specific interfaces between the various kinds of companies.
The DVGW CERT GmbH has been officially recognised for quality management certification since the start of 1996 by the Trägergemeinschaft für Akkreditierung (TGA).
Quality and environmental management systems can be certified in combination, which saves time and money.
