Quality certification is a formal process that verifies a product, service, or system meets specific standards of quality. Organizations often seek certification to demonstrate their commitment to quality and to gain trust from customers. Common standards include those set by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute). The certification process typically involves an assessment by an independent body, which evaluates compliance with established criteria. Once certified, organizations can display their certification mark, signaling to consumers that they adhere to recognized quality standards. This can enhance reputation and competitiveness in the market.
