No matter the size of your organization, or the specific industries you serve, you can benefit from certification to one or several quality management system standards.

ISO certification gives you a competitive edge when entering new markets, as it represents a known and trusted standard of quality. Implementing an ISO-certified manufacturing or engineering management system can also help you:

• Shorten cycle times and improve accountability
• Achieve compliance with new regulations faster
• Become recognized in your field as an environmental leader
• Streamline your supply chain and reduce your reliance on fossil fuels
• Enhance awareness and improve your overall security and safety posture
• Engage staff at all levels and secure executive-level participation in quality management goals

Together, these advantages make for stronger organizations that can effectively use sophisticated management tools to grow and succeed, even in an uncertain economy.

The Regional Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct is a set of social, environmental and ethical industry standards. The standards set out in the Code of Conduct reference international norms and standards including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO International Labor Standards, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, ISO and SA standards, and many more. While the Code of Conduct originated with the electronics industry in mind, it is applicable to and used by many industries beyond electronics.

RBA has become a key factor to the industry along with ISO 9000, ISO14000 and ISO45000.
