GIC

GIC is accredited by the Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) for certification of quality management systems (ISO 9001). Approval was first granted in 1995 under the Licence Number 045.

UKAS is the national accreditation body recognized by the United Kingdom government to assess organizations that provide certification services against internationally agreed standards.

UKAS operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK Government through the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.

The Department of Trade and Industry has licensed UKAS to use national accreditation marks featuring the Royal Crown and to sub-license the use of these marks to UKAS accredited bodies such as GIC. The Royal Crown signifies government recognition.

Later on this year 2007 GIC anticipates gaining additional approvals for occupational health and safety system certification services (OHSAS 18001).
