Set the standard in telecommunications quality assurance and control
In today’s competitive business environment, organisations have to give serious consideration to product quality, cycle time, cost, continuous improvement and organisational excellence. The telecommunications industry is at the forefront of these requirements; this industry is characterised as being extremely competitive, with very short product lifecycles and very high safety and quality expectations from customers.

TL 9000 certification is an international telecommunication standard that defines the quality management system requirements for design, development, production, delivery, installation and maintenance of telecommunication products and services. Telecom audits based on these requirements include a minimum set of performance metrics and indicators to measure progress and evaluate results of your quality system implementation; ISO 9000 is used as a baseline in addition to other requirements from existing industry standards and practices.

Telecommunication certification
As a supplier and provider of telecommunications products and services, certifying your quality management systems against TL 9000 requirements delivers the following benefits:

• Reduces your need to meet other telecommunication quality management standards: TL 9000 establishes a common set of quality management system requirements for suppliers of telecommunication systems, hardware, software and services;
• Increases your competitiveness through a focus on performance, cost-based metrics, overall cost reduction, continual improvement of service and enhanced customer/supplier business relationships; and
• Supports your communication strategy, reinforcing the core values of your company and demonstrating your ability to achieve the highest quality standards in the telecommunications products and services industry.
