What JUQS does

JUQS (legal name: JUQS – Društvo za sertifikaciju i nadzor sistema kvaliteta d.o.o.) is a Belgrade-headquartered, privately held certification body founded in March 1997 by JUGOINSPEKT BEOGRAD, the oldest and largest control organization in the Western Balkans. Operating as an independent, impartial and non-profit limited liability company (d.o.o.) with 11 staff, JUQS conducts third-party assessments and issues accredited certificates against ISO management system standards. Its directly accredited scope covers ISO 9001 (QMS), ISO 14001 (EMS), ISO 45001 (OHSMS) and ISO 22000 (FSMS) under ATS accreditation No. 08-003 (since 1999, re-accredited under SRPS ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 from 2017); it additionally offers ISO 27001, ISO 50001, ISO 22301, ISO 37001, ISO 13485, ISO 22716, ISO 10002, ISO 17100, ISO 39001, SR 10 and HACCP, several of them delivered in cooperation with IQNET partners.

The company has served over 1,400 certified client organizations across Serbia, Montenegro, the Republic of Srpska (BiH), North Macedonia, Hungary, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia and Nigeria, issuing over 3,300 JUQS and IQNET certificates cumulatively and holding over 20% of total certificates issued in Serbia. Since 1 March 2005 JUQS has been the IQNET partner representing Serbia, which allows every certificate it issues to carry a dual JUQS + IQNET mark recognized by IQNET's international network of partner certification bodies; the IQNET SR 10 social-responsibility scheme is offered under JUQS's role as an authorized representative of IQNet Ltd.

Revenue mechanics are primarily fee-for-service: one-time initial certification fees per ISO standard plus recurring surveillance audit and recertification fees under multi-year contract cycles, with quotations customized to organization size, complexity, employee count and number of sites. A secondary revenue stream comes from IQNET ACADEMY internal-auditor training delivered in Belgrade. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via on-site audits supplemented by a professional website (yuqs.org), industry events and partner-led distribution through the IQNET network.
