After several years of successful work, ICS Sarajevo finally officially became an "IQNET Associated Member" of the most respected and well-known international association of certification bodies from the most developed countries of the world - IQNet (The International Certification Network) on June 12, 2021. With this, ICS has confirmed its complete competence and high professional reputation, as well as its commitment to respect the rules of work and conduct of renowned global certification bodies. This opens up the opportunity for all our clients to simultaneously obtain ICS and IQNet certificates, which have a high reputation and credibility around the world.
The goals of IQNet are to promote the international recognition of certificates issued for management systems by IQNet members and their recognition as equivalent, regardless of the IQNet member that issued the certification certificate. In addition, the goal of IQNet is based on the recognition of specific needs to offer clients innovative certification systems, such as, for example, the certification of socially responsible business according to the IQNet scheme SR 10, which is based on the requirements of the ISO 26000 norm, and according to whose requirements the certification is not carried out. IQNet members have so far certified more than 300,000 organizations in about 150 countries around the world. IQNet has issued over 30% of the total number of issued certificates for management systems in the world, and more detailed information about IQNet can be found on the website: www.iqnet-certification.com

The certification bodies operating within IQNet have a total of about 40 different accreditations, and IQNet representatives as representatives of interested parties participate in the work of international organizations in the field of management systems such as IAF, EA, ISO/CASCO, CIES, GFSI, etc.
Mutual recognition of issued certificates as equivalent is based on periodic mutual evaluations of IQNet members, which are carried out according to international and generally accepted norms and normative documents. Also, the training of the auditors of the certification bodies that are part of IQNet is carried out to ensure a harmonized and coordinated implementation of audits within the IQNet group. Organizations that are certified by certification bodies from the IQNet group, in addition to the certificate of the respective certification body, receive a certificate and the certification symbol of IQNet.
