International Quality Rating System (IQRS)

We embarked on the International Quality Rating System (IQRS), an internationally recognised quality system assessment protocol by Det Norske Veritas in 2000. IQRS protocol incorporates linkages to ISO9001, the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model and the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award (MBNQA). Through this comprehensive framework benchmarked against international best practices, continuous improvements are made to our Management system. We have achieved a Level 9 rating for overall business excellence since March 2004.
