The company’s state-of-the-art, ISO 17025 accredited laboratories are managed by a team of qualified food technologists and scientists, ensuring the highest standards in testing and analysis.
AIS’s journey towards this certification reflects its dedication to implementing robust quality management practices. By aligning its operations with the stringent requirements of ISO 9001:2015, AIS ensures that its processes are efficient, effective, and in line with global best practices.
In addition to its recent ISO 9001:2015 certification, AIS has been recognized as the first Gulf Accreditation Center (GAC) accredited International Certification Body formed in the Arabian Peninsula.
