QS CERTIFICAZIONI ITALIA S.R.L.

What QS CERTIFICAZIONI ITALIA S.R.L. does

QS Certificazioni Italia S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company (S.r.l.) operating as an accredited certification body (Organismo di Certificazione) headquartered in Turin at Corso Trapani, 25. The firm was originally founded in Pinerolo and later relocated to Turin to provide broader management support and position itself as a multi-service certification entity. Its core business is third-party attestation of conformity for management systems across multiple ISO standards — including ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety), ISO 50001 (energy), ISO 22000 (food safety), ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 3834-2 (welding quality), and ISO 37001 (anti-corruption) — as well as the Italian national practice UNI/PdR 125:2022 for gender equality.

The company operates under direct ACCREDIA accreditation (Certificate n. 00980) for ISO 9001 across IAF sectors 17 (metals), 28 (construction), 35 (professional services), and 37 (education), and for ISO 37001 and UNI/PdR 125:2022. To deliver standards outside its direct ACCREDIA scope, QS Certificazioni Italia partners reciprocally with QS Schaffhausen AG (accredited by SAS in Switzerland) and QS Quality Services LTD (accredited by ESYD in Greece), creating a multi-accreditation platform supported by Multilateral Agreement (MLA) recognition for international certificate acceptance.

The commercial model is professional services: clients contact the Turin office to request a tailored quote, a verification program is agreed, the audit team executes the audit, and a certificate is issued upon positive outcome. Pricing is quote-based on company context and requested standard/scope, with multi-year contract structures tied to surveillance and recertification cycles. The company employs approximately 5 people, has a paid-in capital of €15,000, and generates revenue through per-audit fees on a stable base of Italian SMEs and organizations requiring ISO management system certification. Select customer logos are not disclosed, and marketing is limited to a company website and direct outreach.
