DQS GmbH is an independent, expert provider of management support to companies of all sizes and business sectors. It conducts objective assessments based on around 100 approved standards and technical/ industry-specific regulatory frameworks. Based in Frankfurt am Main, the company is the only major certifying body to focus on the assessment and certification of management systems and processes in companies and organisations. Though most of its work involves well-established products in the fields of quality, the environment and workplace safety, aspects such as risk management, information security and business excellence are increasingly taking centre stage. One of the company‘s greatest strengths lies in the assessment of integrated management systems. DQS GmbH always places a clear emphasis on the benefits to the customer when developing innovative assessment services and accreditation for new standards and regulatory frameworks.
