GDT has achieved this certification from National Quality Assurance, stating that GDT’s quality management system has been assessed and approved against the quality management system standard ISO 9001:2000.

GDT’s ISO 9001:2000 certification, a two-year process, has been a company-wide effort to identify, develop and execute a quality management system that will serve as a guide to continuously improve services and products.
