Quality Certification Alliance. Quality & Safety. Delivered.

Quality Certification Alliance (QCA) grew out of multiple roundtables where promotional products industry thought leaders were discussing the growing number of product safety issues and related recalls associated with goods primarily being manufactured in China.

Recognizing that any credible standards must come from within the industry, these forward-looking companies decided to create and fund an independent, not-for-profit accreditation organization whose mission is to elevate the standards by which industry firms that import and/or manufacture promotional products provide consistently safe, high-quality, socially compliant and environmentally conscientious merchandise.

In today’s business climate, promotional products buyers expect their vendor partners to proactively address the topics of safety and compliance. Distributors have the daunting task of providing safe and compliant products to their end buyer clients, and with QCA Certified Suppliers, they have a proven pool of product offerings as sources.

In order to provide the accountability necessary to assure buyers and end users that products meet applicable measures of compliance, QCA Accreditation tests not only for the presence of and completeness of compliance programs but also the effectiveness of these programs in detecting and deterring noncompliance.

QCA Accredited companies have endorsed a self-certification, completed a rigorous self-assessment, and then submitted their headquarters and their supply base to multiple third-party audits.

The QCA board then uses a scorecard representing the performance of the applicant and its supply chain on the third-party audits as the foundation for granting accreditation.
