DTI-Central Visayas Now ISO Certified


The certification of the quality management system (QMS) ISO 9001:2008 was formally awarded by the Certification International Philippines (CIP) Inc. to the Department of Trade and Industry Central Visayas regional and provincial offices during a formal ceremony held last February 24 at the Cebu Grand Hotel.

The certificate issued on December 6, 2010 and signed by the CIP managing director Renato Navarette highlights the trade and industry programs and services by the department.

Based on the third party audit, it was found that DTI’s QMS is in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.

It was also reported that the strength of QMS’ capacity and activities that were initiated by the department meet quality objectives and ensure external and internal customer satisfaction.

ISO 9001 is a set of international standards for management and verification of good quality management practices.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an international organization that gives certification to businesses, government organizations and social entities that meet certain common standards.            

As ISO-certified, the government agency has fully developed certain formal processes for their management quality control.  This includes monitoring processes, maintaining complete and accurate records, checking for defective output, taking action to correct defects and continual internal reviews for effectiveness.

The ISO certification signed by Mr. Navarette is valid until December 5, 2013.
