SQAS assessment.
The SQAS (Safety and Quality Assessment Systems) scheme involves the verification of compliance with quality requirements, safety and environment defined by the chemical industry for its suppliers.
After an evaluation, AENOR issues a “crowded” where attests that assessment has been performed regardless of the outcome of it.
It is not a certification because it is not necessary meet minimum. The assessment reflects the current situation in which it is performed and the crowded attests to this.
In the questionnaires SQAS not only questions to be performed in the evaluation are collected, but also include the methodology for implementation.
