The impact we have
At Quality Trade, we play a pivotal role in connecting and empowering all stakeholders in the industry, ensuring everyone's value is realised.
Estimated global trade linked to organisations holding accredited certification.
Quality management adoption continues to climb year on year.
Environmental certification grows as reported emissions fall.
By providing transparency and verification efficiency for Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Assurance (TICA) industry credentials across global supply chains, we help organisations to identify and manage supply chain risk.
This helps organisations rely more heavily on such credentials, serving as the catalyst for maximising the value & increasing the demand of standards, certification and accreditation which leads to wider economic, environmental and social impacts at an individual organisation level, supply chain level and across the globe.
The certification journey
Every trusted credential passes through a chain of independent stakeholders, each playing a distinct role.
Standard Bodies
Standard Bodies start the journey by issuing new standards. These are created by industry experts to ensure products, services and companies are high quality, safe, reliable, sustainable and socially responsible.
Accreditation Bodies & Certification Bodies
Accreditation Bodies & Certification Bodies are independent bodies who audit companies to standards. When companies have proven to the certification body they have implemented and met the specific standard the certification body issues a certificate.
Certified Entities
Certified Entities are the companies implementing the standards and are assessed by the Certification Bodies. They benefit on an individual level by implementing the relevant standard (e.g. reduced emissions, improved safety, higher quality, better compliance etc.). The promotion of being certified helps them to participate in certain industries where accredited certifications are required and or be accepted in world leading supply chains.
Three impact pillars
Broader Impacts
As more organizations achieve accredited certification to a wider array of standards, the resulting benefits extend beyond compliance. These certifications contribute to positive economic, sustainability, and social impacts on a global scale.
Enhanced Verification Efficiency Increases Demand
By improving the efficiency of certification verification, it enhances supply chain transparency, enabling greater confidence in and reliability of accredited certification.
Verification Technology and Information Delivery
We collaborate with Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) stakeholders to receive validated information on credentials such as certifications.
Quality Trade's role
Quality Trades' role is to ensure all those efforts described above are recognised. We do so by enabling any organisation or individual to validate which companies have valid certifications, certificated locations etc across the globe.
