connect quality, environmental protection, energy efficiency as well as occupational health and safety via the integrated management system.

International Standards (ISO) as a seal of quality

– Why do we get certified?

Our aim is that business conduct always complies with laws and internal regulations and guidelines. At ZEISS, we use certification to demonstrate to our customers and stakeholders that we do business not only in accordance with the law, but also in accordance with global business standards (ISO).

Compliance with standards supports the quality of goods and services, compliance with prescribed processes and continuous improvement. By using standards, we can explain our activities in a comprehensible way and thus gain the trust of our customers, business partners, authorities and other stakeholders. We thus give our employees clear structures and processes. Certification is a confirmation of this by external accredited partners.
