Swets, the global leader in managing professional information for publishers, libraries and other information centers, is delighted to announce that the company has successfully retained its global ISO9001:2008 certification, passing its recent ISO audits with flying colors. The new certificate is valid for a further three years, running until July  2017.

“The ISO 9001 certificate is a standard that’s recognized the world over as a badge of excellence and we’re extremely proud to have retained our global certification, “said Ramon Schrama, Director Services & Operations at Swets. ““Considering the forces that have affected our industry, the fact that we have held an ISO certificate for more than 15 years serves as a major endorsement of our business processes and the value they provide.”

The ISO 9001:2008 certificate is the world’s most recognized quality management standard.
