Confirmation of conformity of our quality management system with three standards at once is of greatest importance to the company.”

These certificates guarantee the stable quality of the company’s products and services, which helps attract customers and investors. Besides, this is an indispensable condition by receiving orders financed by municipal and federal budgets. Successful recertification also helps improve the company’s image in the region and positions on the world market. The available certificate of compliance makes the process of obtaining licenses easy and considerably reduces the terms of further certification inspections.
It should be noted that certification of quality management systems of the Russian organizations according to ISO 9001-2008 standards started in November 2008. And KAMAZ became one of the first automobile enterprises which fulfilled this process having once again proved that it is the leader of the Russian automotive industry.
Soon enterprises and organizations will have to be certified for compliance with new standards – e.g. of information technologies, information security and logistics systems.
