Business Excellence Press Release
IANZ provides recognition that technical organisations are competent. These include medical testing laboratories,
building consent authorities, breast-screening providers, electrical safety testing laboratories, and fire safety
inspection bodies, along with many others.
It is important that IANZ itself is seen as credible in its own operation – hence the Business Excellence journey.
Many regulators around the world require testing or inspection to be done by accredited organisations, and the national
accreditation authority (IANZ) to be globally recognised. While IANZ has such recognition, we see the elements of
Business Excellence adding a more comprehensive framework around our business practice.
This award provides recognition in other areas – leadership; strategy and vision; the relationships with our customers
and how we develop our market, developing the IANZ team, as well as our basic business processes and the way we analyse
and report business information and results.
IANZ has had good systems and processes in place for many years, but these values were not well understood by others and
the perception was, we were not proactive in gaining recognition for what we were accomplishing. This award is proof
that the results we are achieving are now evident to a wider audience, not just our team and our Board, but also to our
customers and the wider community.
