Our Values

The value of DQS is in the degree of confidence and trust that customers and markets place in DQS. Customers of certified organizations and end users expect to rely on DQS. To promote this confidence, DQS takes into account the following principles in all of its activities:

Impartiality

Impartiality requires independence from any undue influence upon certification decisions, which shall be objective and purely fact-based.

Management System Advisory Council (MSAC)

We are proud to have the Management System Advisory Council (MSAC) as an integral part of our Operations. This Committee has members from both external organizations and DQS India. The Committee is expected to review that impartiality and neutrality is ensured while taking decisions regarding grant of certification to various standards and these decisions are not affected by any commercial interests of the organization.

Terms of Reference for the MSAC:

Advise in the development and implementation of policies relating to impartiality and neutrality
Ensure adequate checks and balances so as to avoid interference of commercial or other considerations in the certification activities
Conduct a review, at least once annually, of the impartiality and neutrality of the audit, certification and decision making processes of DQS India
This is a non-monetary membership position

Competence

Competence is a key asset in ensuring professional audits that lead to valid results. Every employee in every function shall be duly competent for their assigned tasks

Responsibility

At DQS, we take responsibility for our activities and their results

Openness

Openness means unrestricted access to certification services without any undue discrimination

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is another key asset in building sustainable business partnerships with our customers. Professional data and information protection is a continuous activity at DQS

Ethical Business Practices

A corporate code of ethics has been established, defining consistent corporate values and principles in all DQS organizations worldwide.

History

The customer is at the center of everything we work for.

For this reason our customers hold seats at the DQS Board of Shareholders. Four major German Industry associations hold shares of DQS Holding GmbH. This provides us with an inside view of the customers’ interests, as well as with experience and knowledge of their industries. The Board is complemented by major shareholders DIN (the German Institute of Standardization), DGQ (the German Association for Quality), and UL (the US product safety company Underwriters Laboratories). Decades of experience in standardization, training and product certification of these three major shareholders provide the knowledge base and know-how for DQS as your partner for management systems solutions. Today our shareholders are the guardians of DQS’ corporate values and its high quality approach. At the same time, direct input from the industry on market conditions, requirements and management challenges keeps us on the right track. This way, DQS is keeping its focus on its main stakeholders: the organizations we have been auditing and certifying successfully for the past 30+ years.
