Kurdistan Quality Certification (KQC) delivers trusted third-party certification services for management systems aligned with internationally recognized standards — structured, transparent, and evidence-based.
About KQC
KQC provides independent third-party certification services in accordance with ISO/IEC 17021-1 and relevant international standards. Our approach is built on a structured and disciplined audit methodology — ensuring fairness, consistency, and technical reliability.
We work with organizations across a wide range of sectors, supporting them in establishing, maintaining, and continually improving management systems. All certification decisions are made through a controlled and impartial process, based solely on objective evidence.
Certification Principles
Decisions made without bias or external influence.
All certification decisions are based solely on objective audit evidence. KQC ensures that no personal, commercial, or political pressures influence assessment outcomes.
No conflict of interest in certification activities.
KQC strictly separates certification from consultancy. We do not provide implementation, training, or internal audit services to organizations.
Clear and accessible information at every stage.
KQC makes its certification criteria, processes, and public information accessible to all stakeholders. Clients are kept fully informed throughout the audit lifecycle — from application and renewal cycles.
Secure handling of all client information.
All information obtained during the certification process is treated with the utmost confidentiality. KQC does not disclose client data, audit findings, or commercially sensitive information to third parties without explicit written consent.
Qualified and experienced auditors throughout.
All KQC auditors are selected based on technical qualifications, sector-specific experience, and ongoing professional development. Auditor competence is evaluated according to the defined criteria of ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Decisions based on verified audit evidence only.
Certification is granted only when sufficient objective evidence demonstrates conformity with applicable requirements. Audit findings are documented through a controlled certification decision process.
