Since 2008, the Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft has already been certified to EN ISO 9001. Quality is not a goal, it is a permanent process. A successful quality management system improves company performance and creates clarity for employees. The quality management system significantly contributes to the achievement of strategic business goals by defining integrated business processes. It helps to perform research and development work in high quality and to the best possible satisfaction of customers, clients and partners as well as other stakeholders.

With the certification in December 2008, Salzburg Research was certified to introduce an integrated quality management system according to EN ISO 9001: 2008. The quality management system is audited annually in an internal and an external audit. There are recertification audits every three years and two surveillance audits in between. The scheduled recertification audit in 2017 was now the transition to the new standard version ISO 9001:2015.

A particular focus of the new standard is the opportunities and risks as well as the stakeholders of the company. All QM documents and processes have been reviewed and adapted to the new standard requirements. TÜV Austria certified that Salzburg Research complies with the standard requirements and the effectiveness of the management system.
