ISO certification certifies that a management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure possesses the requirements for standardization and quality assurance. ISO is an independent, non-governmental, international organization that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.
ISO certifications exist in various areas of industry, ranging from energy management and social responsibility, to medical devices and energy management. ISO standards seek to ensure consistency and each certification has separate standards and criteria and is classified numerically.
Following on the realisation of its milestone, GCS says that it was seeking to encourage other local businesses to engage it on the matter of addressing their ISO Certification needs.
GCS is an International ISO Certification Body & Registrar headquartered in Geneva Switzerland. GCS is a leading ISO Management Systems Registrar in Europe with an operational office in the United States, Canada, Trinidad, and Guyana.
The Operational Office of the GCS in Guyana is headed by Quality Standards and Conformity Assessment Expert Candelle Bostwick, a former Executive Director of the Guyana National Bureau of Standards, the local entity responsible for regulating and monitoring the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices used in trade as specified in the Weights and Measures Act of 1981.
