Systems certification concerns the organization and working methods put in place to guarantee a consistent level of quality for your products and services.
It's a voluntary process, designed to improve your organization's performance, reduce some of your costs and increase the satisfaction and confidence of your stakeholders, especially your customers.
Certification is not a given because it has been obtained, but because of its requirements, it necessarily leads you (and your organization) into a process of continuous improvement.
