The QAI 360° Approach
QAI takes a unique 360° view when it comes to evaluating products and obtaining approval or compliance. We take into account your needs, timeline, budget, and parameters, and create a plan with you to outline a step-by-step process to completion. And by staying current on the latest accreditations and shifts in regulations, we can not only take care of you for the immediate term but position you to be compliant in the future. For example:
- We help clients obtain and understand reports from other testing agencies.
- We make it easier for companies to do their job of innovating and developing new products.
- We are a one-stop shop when it comes to certifying, testing, or evaluating a product so that it meets compliance standards, and we help arrange inspections in the entire world.
- We also offer importation guidance for products that require governmental approval.
Commitment to Excellent Service
It is my commitment as the CEO that our team will provide you with excellent service. Your experience with QAI is of the utmost importance to me, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
