ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a universally recognized quality management system that sets the standards for safety, efficiency, and quality. More specifically, ISO 9001:2008 requires third-party certification for meeting the principles of customer satisfaction, accepted practices, and continual improvement.

In February of 2014, Bestwork achieved ISO 9001:2008 Recertification. Although the recertification process extends the validity of registration for a three-year period, it is subject to surveillance audits. “I’m proud to report that in February 2015, Bestwork Industries passed this audit without any major findings,” said Tanweer Imam, Bestwork’s ISO Management Representative. “Being ISO certified demonstrates our long-term commitment to our customers.”

Way to go, team!
