Regional meetings of NSI-approved companies, like Ecl-ips, are held annually. They provide approved companies with technical knowledge and external speakers often attend to give advice on topics to help them grow their businesses.

Identify areas for improvement

To achieve NSI Gold certification, they operate a Quality Management System compliant with the ISO 9001 Standard, which helps companies to continually monitor and manage quality across their businesses, so they can identify areas for improvement.

The NSI is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), which operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK Government through the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
