Quality Management

AFC is DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certified; the first DIN EN ISO 9001 certificate was issued in 1999, the current certificate was issued on 14 July 2023 and is valid until 13 July 2026.

AFC has developed a system of knowledge and information management, emphasizing the ongoing knowledge cycle consisting of creating, gathering, storing, distributing, using, and learning, and putting in place adequate procedures for each step from project acquisition to project implementation. In headquarters, this implies at least bi-weekly meetings of regular staff, a sophisticated intranet database on project progress and lessons learnt; the participation in internal, group-wide and external networks and working groups; and the cooperation with specialized training centers for increasing in-house qualifications on topics such as project management, leadership, foreign language or software skills.
