1. The object of certification is the quality system of the supplier. The object of quality system certification is not a certain product or service of the enterprise, but the quality system itself. Of course, the quality system certification will inevitably involve the products or services covered by the system. Some enterprises apply for the certification of the overall quality system including various products or services of the enterprise, and some applications only include certain or part of the products (or service) quality system certification. Although the range of products involved is large or small, the object of certification is the quality system of the supplier.

Product quality certification can be divided into two categories: safety certification and quality certification, among which safety certification is often compulsory. Quality system certification is mainly to improve the quality reputation of the enterprise and expand sales. Generally, the enterprise voluntarily applies for it, which is an independent behavior of the enterprise.
