The Quality Management System of the National Centre for Marketing and Price Study has been certified in compliance with the standard ISO 9001:2008
The quality management system of the National Centre for Marketing and Price Study of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus has gained international recognition. On December 29, 2009 in solemn atmosphere the enterprise’s staff was granted international certificates proving the compliance of the quality management system with ISO 9001:2008 international standard. The corresponding certificates were issued by SAI Global company, one of the world leading certifying authorities, Russian Register Certification Association, and IQNet International Certification Network.
During the certificates presentation Vyacheslav Parkhomenko, the Head of SAI Global Representative Office in the Republic of Belarus, noted, “The world practice proves that 90 per cent of the enterprise’s success depends on serious attention paid to the quality management system improvement. The staff of the National Centre for Marketing and Price Study headed by Boris Smolkin, its Director, showed how much importance is attached to this issue. The staff demonstrated team spirit working on the implementation of the quality management system in production activities that resulted in the receipt of a number of certificates. This fact proves serious international recognition of the enterprise and actually allows entering the global market. For example, Russian Register Certification Association is a member of IQNet International Certification Network and has international accreditation. The certificate issued by this company is automatically accepted in 33 countries of the world inclusive of Germany, France, Italy, Venezuela, etc. One can establish links with any state of the world having at disposal such a document. At present I do not know any other Belarusian company operating on such a high level that would have the same package of international certificates.”
Thus, Belarusian economic entities enjoy the opportunity to employ information and consulting resources of the National Centre for Marketing and Price Study more effectively.
