South African Quality Institute

SAQI is committed to promoting quality in all fields of human endeavour by providing Quality awareness, leadership principles, products and systems. We support business and industry as well as emerging entrepreneurs, healthcare and education. Quality in South Africa today is facing a new and exciting future. It will move away from the hands of the quality specialists to the public domain of operators, managers, entrepreneurs and educators. Consumers will also play an influential role. As traditional trade barriers fall, they are replaced by internationally recognised quality systems such as ISO 9000 certification and environmental management systems (EMS). As a result quality becomes not only a business imperative but an essential life skill that is as fundamental to the success of individuals and companies as literacy and numeracy. SAQI's mission is to play a leading role in establishing and sustaining a national quality infrastructure that serves our economic system and make all South African trade competitive locally and internationally.
