In 2016, IQNET welcomed affiliation from certification bodies who would like to grow with the network. IQNET has three Affiliated Bodies to date benefiting from our cooperation efforts and provision of exclusive IQNET products and services.

Harmonizing the knowledge and expertise of Members like CISQ, together with the extensive reach the network could provide, IQNET through the years has established a collaborative influence in the conformity assessment industry.

Collectively, IQNET Members are consistent in capturing 20% share of certificates issued worldwide for quality, environmental, health and safety, and other management systems (average comparison with ISO survey from 2019-2024). Our conscious commitment to seeking mutual gains in our network resulted in the expansion of IQNET recognition of products and services to keep the businesses competitive in this changing industry landscape.

IQNET through the years has successfully created an atmosphere conducive to raise relevant issues in the conformity assessment industry. One third of IQNET Members as national standardization bodies, set the course in the development and strategy for ISO standards. IQNET’s footprint in the Accreditation area spans from chairmanship to convenorship of permanent committees and technical working groups in International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and active membership in regional accreditation forums. 

This trustworthiness paved the way for IQNET to being acknowledged by scheme owners, quality infrastructure entities, among others, as main contributor and partner. To know more about our international representations, visit: International Player
