Whether you run an international corporation or small firm, quality is always important – to your customers or contractors. On a certain level there are various standards to ensure the high quality and level of commitment. The first standards applied in the company should be ISO 9001. Depending on the size and involvement of your company you may find use for European Standards if your firm trades with other European markets. Similarly Germany has its own DIN Standards which however became somewhat widely recognized among other European states so even these can be of use to some companies.
