PROJECT 9

Quality management expertise helps new Lebanese standards institution develop national framework

The challenge: Libnor has been set up as the National Standards Institution in Lebanon, yet it lacks the expertise to define standards or assess a suitable accrediting body for its own certification.

The solution: We are providing ongoing consultancy to help Libnor develop their national standards and create a domestic kite-mark scheme. Part of the process is to find an international accrediting body to verify the standards Libnor creates: we are applying our international accreditation and tendering expertise to identify the most suitable body

The benefits: Libnor is getting the assistance it needs to develop a framework that will enable it to run effective national standards across all products and services to improve the experience for Lebanese customers and give domestic companies the chance to compete more effectively in the global market.
