We are committed to continuous improvement and have established a Quality Management System which provides a framework for measuring and improving our performance. Achievement of this policy involves all staff, who are individually responsible for the quality of their work, resulting in a continually improving working environment for all.
To achieve this, HCO has established the following as part of its policy:
Committing to observe Quality Management System in compliance with ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 17065:2012(E), ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015(E) 1:2015(E), GSO 2055-2, GSO 2055-1, GSO 993, OIC/SMIIC 1:2019, and OIC/SMIIC 2:2019.
