Accreditation

TOBB has introduced the Turkish Chambers Accreditation System in 2001. This quality system sets a clear path for quality improvement of the overall performance and organization of the Turkish Chambers.

It has been established through the cooperation with the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) during the Turkish Chambers Development Project I (TCDP I) in 2001.

This system was initially introduced in the United Kingdom by BCC in 1995 and goes now through a regular review and revision to ensure the highest level of quality in the changing business environment.

Since 2004 TOBB has trained and certified 53 local Chambers. The certificate represents a validity of 3 years.

In the framework of ETCF this accreditation system will be reviewed and an up-to-date system will be available to the Turkish chamber network. The objective is to improve the accreditation capacity of TOBB and certify approximately 50 of the participating Chambers.

Key elements of the Accreditation Standard are:

  • Engagement with the business community
