Quality assurance

Imec equals quality.

In its quality policy, imec engages to deliver research results that meet the demands and expectations of its current and future customers.
Imec uses for this purpose a structured and documented quality management system based on the NBN-EN-ISO 9001:2008 standard.

The ISO 9001 certificate strengthens imec’s competitive position as an international research center.

Imec Belgium has an ISO 9001 certificate for the following activities: training, consulting, design, research, development, integration, characterisation, prototyping and low volume production. These activities apply to processes, systems and software in the field of nanoelectronics and nanotechnology.

In 1994, imec's departments for solar cells and for silicon processing were the first to receive an ISO 9001 certificate. The first ISO 9001 certificate for the whole of imec Belgium was awarded by SGS in 1997. Since 2005, the audits have been done by Kiwa Belgium NV.
