Quality Austria: The Leading Authority in Integrated Management Systems
Quality Austria is the premier Austrian authority for integrated management systems, built on quality, environmental, safety and health protection management, as well as corporate quality. With a strong commitment to excellence and innovation, Quality Austria has become a trusted partner for businesses seeking to improve their operations and achieve sustainable growth.
Founded in 1991 as an independent certification body for quality management systems (QMS), Quality Austria has since expanded its scope to include environmental management systems (EMS), occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS), energy management systems (EnMS) and other related areas. Today, it offers a comprehensive range of services that help organizations of all sizes and sectors to optimize their processes, reduce risks and enhance customer satisfaction.
One of the key strengths of Quality Austria is its team of highly qualified experts who possess extensive knowledge in various fields such as engineering, chemistry, biology, law or economics. They work closely with clients to understand their specific needs and challenges before developing customized solutions that meet or exceed international standards such as ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 14001:2015. Moreover, they provide ongoing support throughout the entire certification process – from initial assessment to final audit – ensuring that clients are fully prepared for any future changes or updates.
Another advantage of working with Quality Austria is its global network of partners which includes other certification bodies like TÜV SÜD or DNV GL but also academic institutions like Vienna University of Economics and Business or Graz University of Technology. This allows clients not only to benefit from local expertise but also from international best practices which can be adapted to their specific context.
In addition to certification services, Quality Austria offers training courses on various topics related to integrated management systems such as internal auditing techniques or risk-based thinking. These courses are designed for individuals who want to deepen their knowledge in these areas but also for companies who want to train their employees to become internal auditors or management representatives.
Quality Austria is also actively involved in research and development projects that aim to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of integrated management systems. For example, it has participated in the EU-funded project "Eco-Innovation Observatory" which aimed at identifying best practices for eco-innovation in SMEs or the national project "Green Meetings" which focused on reducing the environmental impact of meetings and events.
Overall, Quality Austria is a reliable partner for businesses that want to enhance their competitiveness, reduce their environmental footprint and ensure the health and safety of their employees. With its strong reputation, extensive expertise and global network, it has become a leading authority in integrated management systems not only in Austria but also beyond.
