Reference Value of Certification | Provides a comprehensive evaluation system, offering reliable references for international clients and partners to assess a company's strength. | Traditional certifications usually provide results based on single standards, limiting their reference value in reflecting a company’s comprehensive strength. |
Target Audience | Designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are conducting or planning to conduct international business, offering multi-level evaluations (qualified, above qualified, excellent). | Most certifications focus on large enterprises or specialized industries, with less consideration for the international business needs of SMEs. |
