ASC: Aquaculture Stewardship Council certification





















In the United States, NQA provides accredited third-party certification for a broad range of ISO management system standards across diverse industries. Services include initial certification audits, surveillance assessments, recertification audits, and integrated management system evaluations.
Audits assess leadership engagement, risk-based thinking, operational control effectiveness, performance monitoring, corrective action processes, and continual improvement mechanisms. The objective is to verify not only documented systems but their practical implementation and effectiveness within daily operations.
Unitek complements these services by supporting manufacturing-focused organizations, particularly in high-reliability sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial supply chains. While NQA provides accredited certification, Unitek contributes sector expertise and operational insight aligned with complex manufacturing environments and supplier requirements.
