The Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI) achieved a significant landmark when its system certification activities spread its wings beyond the borders of Sri Lanka. SLSI, the national standards body and the member body of ISO in Sri Lanka is currently enjoying the market leadership in ISO System certification in the country. It has also drawn the attention of neighbouring countries as well.

With India already on the list, the Maldives became the latest entrant of getting the services of SLSI. The Sri Lanka Standards Institution recently awarded the prestigious ISO 9000 - 2000 certification to The Hulhulle Island Hotel of Maldives. This enunciates the increasing popularity and recognition for SLSI system certification in this part of he world, a spokesman for SLSI said.

The SLSI system certification, which has an enviable track record, has so far certified more than 175 companies locally while a number of companies are expected to be granted the certification in the very near future, he said.

ISO 9000 certification is primarily aimed at creating and sustaining the best practices for the organisational success by providing a mechanism for determining and fulfilling customer needs. In addition to that with the reputation of the ISO certification is in crescendo worldwide, possessing ISO certification itself may enhance the image of the organisation among all stakeholders.

While the barriers for international trade are clearing gradually the ISO certification provides the impetus for enterprises to highlight their quality and reliability universally.
