01 · Independence

DQS certifies. We prepare.

Certification is only meaningful when it is independent. That is why the roles are clearly separated: Export Lab provides consulting, implementation and preparation; the certification audit is conducted by DQS, a German certifier present in more than 60 countries, autonomously and impartially, under international accreditation rules. The client gets the best of both worlds: preparation by people who master certifiers' methods, and a certificate issued by an independent, internationally recognised certification body.

Export Lab
