Due to the current spread of the coronavirus, the eligibility of delivery of all QS-certified sites (incl. QS-GAP) will be extended by two months (changeover in the QS database on March 26th, 2020). This procedure has been approved by the QS advisory boards.
According to the extended QS eligibility of delivery, necessary QS audits can be postponed to a later date (see also our letter of March 20th, 2020). If, despite the current situation, QS audits are to be carried out, it is still the case that they will only be carried out if both, the company and the auditor, have agreed to the audit being implemented. Again, we strongly recommend that audits should not be carried out at this time.
