services, which can assist any company undertaking certification.
These services, unless agreed upon in the beginning, are usually
charged separately. Some of these are:
- Assistance with Certification Agencies
Quest Consultants can provide you complete assistance
in the selection of the appropriate Registrar/certification agency.
This includes the ratings of the certification agencies, cost estimates
and providing comparative statement for the company. If the client
desires, Quest can undertake correspondence on their behalf with
the Certification Agency, set all the terms and conditions and notify
the company along with the audit date. This service is free of cost.

Implementation of some International Standards
and achieving Certifications requires a dynamic documentation control
system. In order to streamline this process and prevent any duplication
of efforts, many companies choose to computerize this operation.
On requirement/request, Quest also provides complete
computerization packages as per the requirements of the company.
