Resource Center TÜV SÜD in Switzerland
As a partner for security, trust and compliance, we support our customers in using opportunities, assessing risks, and increasing their process performance. Our skills include the auditing, assessment, validation and certification of management systems, as well as the provision of customer-specific services and solutions. Global certification requirements are constantly increasing and no one should be alone in the chaos of requirements, regulations and standards. We are pleased to be able to provide those services, which our group offers worldwide, locally in Switzerland in the recognized TÜV SÜD quality.
With the help of management systems, large and small companies can improve their business operations, reduce risks and gain competitive advantage. Management systems such as ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 serve companies as a legal framework for evaluating their own company processes.
When auditing and certifying management systems, independent experts evaluate your processes and check for opportunities of improvement. A certificate confirms the compliance of your processes with the applicable standards and regulations.
WHY IS THE CERTIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SO IMPORTANT?
Companies from different industries, such as for example aerospace, automotive, IT, energy, food, benefit from working with an independent certification body. An assessment of business operations by an independent auditor such as TÜV SÜD offers several advantages:
- Conducting a comprehensive, independent audit of your business processes, facilities and supply chain members to identify areas of improvement
- Optimization of processes and expansion of profit margins
- Obtaining an internationally recognized certification
- Demonstrating your commitment to quality, safety and health protection for consumers and regulators alike
