Annual Quality Management Review 2020

The EFSA Quality Management System (QMS) was awarded in 2016 the ISO 9001:2015 certification, providing evidence that the organisation has a solid basis for the provision and communication of scientific advice via its scientific excellence, independence, openness, innovation, and cooperation.

In alignment with ISO 9001:2015 requirements, EFSA performs a yearly review of its Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure its ongoing suitability, adequacy, effectiveness, and alignment with the strategic direction of the organization. This report covers all relevant provisions for the annual review. In 2020, EFSA continued towards further strengthening its QMS, with all Annual Quality Management Systems objectives being entirely or partially delivered.
