The programme, launched at Hotel Insel Fehrmarn at Moto’otua, follows the success of the S.A.M.E. I.S.O. 9001:2008 Programme, which started in 2009 to 2013.

The programme launched yesterday will focus on providing continuing training and international certification for its members; local public and private Sector enterprises; and any organizations that require the enhancement of its competitiveness and operating efficiency to meet international recognition and ensure sustainability and success both in local, regional and global markets.

Success to Date The S.A.M.E. I.S.O. 9001:2008 programme resulted in eight member companies of S.A.M.E. gaining certification in December 2010.

Support services had been continued for these eight companies to date, as well as continuing internal auditor training for both certified and new entrants.

As of now, another eight members of S.A.M.E. who have started the programme in 2012/13 are now eligible for I.S.O. 9001”2008 Certification in 2014/2015. Scope of S.A.M.E. I.S.O. Certification Programme The S.A.M.E. I.S.O. Certification Programme is a continuation of the aforementioned programme, but with a broadening perspective to include other International certifications (in addition to I.S.O. 9001:2008) –such as HACCP Food Safety; Environmental Management; etc. Another important scope of the programme is that S.A.M.E. will become involved in carrying out the Internal Auditors Training programme in close consultation with approved International Service Providers.
