The term Quality Endorsed Company generally refers to a company having a management system demonstrating compliance with the requirements of ISO AS/NZS 9001 or 9002 . There are a numbers of certification companies in Australia accredited by JAS-ANZ to issue a licence of accreditation to compliant companies.

Is owned by Standards Australia International, they only allow Quality Assurances Services Pty. Ltd. (OAS) to use their StandardMark logo and issue 'Quality System StandardMark licences.
