ISO CERTIFICATION IN ICAD
ISO certification for complex industrial, manufacturing and supply-chain operations in ICAD.
ICAD / Industrial City of Abu Dhabi is associated with purpose-built industrial operations and today forms part of the broader KEZAD industrial ecosystem in Abu Dhabi. Certification in this environment can involve manufacturers, processors, engineering businesses, warehouses, contractors and supporting service organizations with substantial operational processes.
A strong certification scope should distinguish between manufacturing, storage, administration, engineering support and any external activities. Where several buildings, production lines or shifts are involved, the application should provide enough detail for the audit programme to reflect the size and complexity of the operation.
Veritas Assurance provides independent certification to eligible ISO management-system standards. For ICAD organizations, standards covering quality, environment, occupational health and safety, energy, food safety, information security and business continuity may be relevant depending on the sector and activities included in scope.
Important: ISO develops International Standards, but ISO itself does not certify organizations or issue certificates. Certification is carried out by external certification bodies.
