Organisations are working hard to work as well as possible within this new reality. Thanks to innovative solutions and perseverance, this is becoming increasingly successful. Kiwa’s COVID-19 preventive measures quality mark helps your organisation take the next step. Below we explain the advantages of this certificate.
Kiwa periodically carries out an assessment of your organisation for the COVID-19 preventive measures quality mark. Protocols and action plans of the organisation are checked. If the policy complies with applicable guidelines to limit the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, this will result in certification and you will receive a declaration of conformity. This shows that you comply with the relevant guidelines. Your organisation will also be included in the register of Kiwa's COVID-19 preventive measures quality mark. This register lists all organisations that meet the requirements of the quality mark.
In addition, Kiwa's COVID-19 quality mark helps you to stimulate a number of factors within your organisation:
