We’re proud to share that Qual CIF has once again passed our ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 20252:2019 audits. It’s a solid reminder that the way we work – with care, clarity and consistency – is paying off. Quality is more than a process. It’s about doing the right thing, even when no one’s looking. These standards help keep us on track, especially in a fast-paced world where it’s easy to cut corners. We don’t. They help ensure that we’re meeting best practice not just on paper, but in how we actually deliver our work day-to-day.

So, what do those ISO numbers actually mean?

ISO 9001:2015 is all about quality management. It’s a globally recognised standard that outlines how organisations can meet the needs of their clients and stakeholders consistently. It means we have clear systems in place for planning, delivery, and continuous improvement – and that we care about doing things properly, not just ticking boxes.

ISO 20252:2019 is specific to our world – market, opinion, and social research. It provides a framework for how research should be designed, conducted, supervised, and reported. It ensures everything from recruitment and consent through to data security and project outcomes is handled responsibly, ethically, and professionally.

Put simply, these standards mean we’re not just saying we work to high standards – we’re proving it.

Audits aren’t glamorous, and they’re never easy – even when you feel prepared. They involve looking closely at everything from project management and data handling to internal reviews and training protocols. But we welcome that scrutiny. It keeps us sharp, and it keeps us honest.

The process is also a reminder of how much goes on behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. From initial recruitment to final deliverables, the small decisions and daily habits are what make the biggest difference.

These certifications aren’t just about us – they’re about giving our clients confidence. It means you can trust that every step of the project is being handled with consistency, transparency, and a commitment to doing things right. Whether it’s a one-off focus group or a six-month longitudinal study, that foundation of quality is always there.

A huge thank you to our team. Their attention to detail, resilience, and professional pride are what make achievements like this possible.
