Generating new knowledge by regular bi- and multilateral exchange of experiences

The DGQ influences and supports the European and internationally important associations for quality and their regional umbrella organisations. The regular bi- and multilateral exchange of experiences generate new knowledge and new ideas for DGQ members and customers.

The DGQ supports the executive board of the EOQ

In the field of international cooperation one focus of the DGQ activities is the support of the strategic development of the European Organization for Quality. It also supports the concept of new EOQ certification programmes for certification bodies of persons. DGQ representatives take part in board meetings, general meetings and meetings of the committees of the personal certification. The DGQ took a leading part in the acceptance of EOQ certification programmes for quality professionals by the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA). The acceptance of the EOQ as Scheme Owner for Quality Personnel was openly acknowledged by the EA in January 2017.
