- Regulatory compliance: screening of suppliers against EU and international sanctions lists, verification of conformity to the Machinery Directive and Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.

Integration with the other CQA divisions
The Global Sourcing service integrates with the other operating divisions of CQA System: the Consulting division for the qualification of suppliers according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards (second-party audits), and the Prototyping division for the technical validation of components prior to industrialisation. The Client thus finds in a single counterpart the search for the industrial partner, their qualification as a structured supplier and support for upstream product development.
