IQNET – International Certification Network was founded in Bern, Switzerland in 1990, and the number of certification bodies that are members of IQNET is constantly increasing worldwide. Each of the IQNET members is a leading organization in its own region, and through IQNET, they form the largest and most reputable network of certification bodies in the world.
The Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) has been a full member of IQNET since 2008. The IQNET Certificate, issued based on Management System Certificates issued by IQNET member certification bodies, allows for the recognition of the related management system certificate by other IQNET member certification bodies. The official IQNET website can be accessed at http://www.iqnet-certification.com/ .
TSE offers its customers the IQNET certificate, created under the category of “Management Systems for which an IQNET certificate has been issued,” without charging any additional fees.
