The EU & BS Standards CIA Work To – Page 1 0f 4

CIA adhere to many different industry standards, and we are proud to be able to boast that we are often the first company in the UK to register documentation proving qualification.

Our in-house Quality Management System (QMS) fully complies with ISO9001:2008 and is endorsed by the NSI. (This is the latest Standard of the ISO9000 series and supersedes BS5750.)
