Established in 1993, CTI Certification is the earliest tripartite certification body in China, approved by the China National Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) and accredited by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS). CTI Huace Certification issued China's first ISO 9000 quality management system certification to the Asian Bicycle Factory. Representing Chinese certification bodies, it underwent assessments by IQNET and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), making notable contributions to China's successful IAF accreditation and its inclusion in the International Accreditation Forum. CTI Huace Certification offers various industries ISO 9001 management system certification and training services.

Background of ISO 9000 Certification:
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) stands as the world's foremost non-governmental international standard-setting organization, founded post-World War II with its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization aims to advance standardization and related efforts globally to facilitate international trade, sharing of services, and foster collaboration in knowledge, science, technology, and economic activities to promote the globalization of product and service trade. ISO's international standards, accepted by over 100 member countries and regions worldwide, hold significant recognition globally.

The quality assurance standard originated from the military standards utilized in the United States' military equipment. Post-World War II, drawing from experiences and lessons of military product quality during the war, the US Department of Defense decided to implement quality assurance in procurements of munitions and military supplies. This assurance required suppliers to not only guarantee the physical quality of products as per technical requirements but also to manage quality as stipulated in the quality assurance clauses of the contract and provide documented proof of quality control upon product submission. This approach led contractors to adopt comprehensive quality management practices, achieving tremendous success. After 1978, quality assurance standards began to be applied in civil procurements. The UK established a set of quality assurance standards, namely BS5750. Subsequently, many European and American countries, to adapt to quality assurance standards for both suppliers and demanders and the new quality management requirements, developed their respective quality management standards and implementation guidelines, building upon years of quality management practices.

The ISO/TC176 Technical Committee was established by ISO to meet the demand for quality assurance practices in civil procurements internationally. By assimilating and referencing standards and practical experiences globally, this committee, through extensive consultations, released the world's first series of international standards for quality management and quality assurance in 1987—the ISO 9000 series of standards. The advent of these standards marked a new era in global quality management and quality assurance efforts, playing a crucial role in advancing quality management in industrial enterprises worldwide and enhancing quality assurance between suppliers and demanders, fostering international trade relationships effectively.

Key Features of the Standard:

1. Applicability to various organizational management and operations.
2. Ability to meet industry-specific standards.
3. Bridging quality management with organizational processes.
4. Emphasis on the application of process approaches, identifying and managing processes used within the organization, especially interactions between these processes, integrating quality management system methods as part of process management.

6. Positioning continuous improvement as a cornerstone of the quality management system.
7. Emphasis on continuous customer satisfaction as the driving force behind quality management systems, urging organizations to continually enhance their products and processes to achieve sustained customer satisfaction.   
8. Consideration of the needs of all relevant stakeholders.
