ICMQ India offers a complete range of services to building materials manufacturers, developers, contractors and engineering companies who wish to improve the effectiveness of their management system and be recognised for business excellence.

Management System Certification
Management system certification, the first step towards business excellence, ensures the ability of an organisation to establish and manage their resources and processes, and to meet specific standards by complying with international standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001).
Many organizations, even those implementing and certifying management systems, claim a sense of frustration due to discrepancies between expectations and results.
ICMQ India offers value-added solutions to certification services through a technical approach fully tailored to each activity within the construction industry.
ICMQ India provides certification services for each product and scheme according to an approach combining management system and product-standard requirements, in addition to technical best practices based on:

• tailor-made application guidelines for each activity
• check lists based on the application guidelines
• references to Indian rules and product standards
• experienced, technically-competent auditors
• internationally recognised certificates

This approach has enabled ICMQ to achieve excellent results: more than 1500 companies in the construction and building material industry have been certified in Europe and Asia according to different schemes (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, SA 8000).

Integrated Management System
ICMQ India provides Integrated Management System (IMS) certification to those organisations aiming to combine quality with environmental and occupational health and safety management systems. This service is aimed at companies who have maturing management systems and who wish to introduce different management systems into their organization to reap the different benefits associated with each.

Business Excellence
ICMQ India offers an innovative rating service to organisations looking at being recognised for their management system excellence at a level beyond simply complying with standards. This service is based on the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) excellence model, a non prescriptive framework structured in on nine criteria balancing enablers (leadership, policy and strategy, people, resources) and results (customer, people, impact on society and financial). This model is the basis for the EFQM Excellence Award (Europe's most prestigious award for organisational excellence) and for other honours. Currently more than 100.000 leading European organizations (regardless of sector, industry or size) are using this "non prescriptive" framework for:

• Structuring the organization's management system for excellent results
• Conducting companywide self-assessment programmes
• Supporting "performance-oriented" improvement
• Conducting effective "benchmarking" (comparisons with other organisations)

At the end of a rigourous evaluation process ICMQ India provides organisations with a score (representing their level of excellence) and an Assessment Report (specifying their strengths and weaknesses). Leading Indian companies have the opportunity to measure the excellence levels of their management system, to benchmark them with leading European companies and to apply for EFQM recognition.
