AQUIB, in consistence with its own activity, has implemented a quality management system based on the UNE-EN ISO 9001 standard, which implies management based on a previously established process map and the commitment of the management bodies of the Agency to assume a quality policy (last version, approved by the Board of Directors in december 2022, is available in spanish and catalan) in the development of all actions carried out by AQUIB.

The implementation of a quality management system is a strategic decision that should allow us to:

• Continuously improve the actions, services and organization of AQUIB.
• Adapt to the changes faced by the university system of the Balearic Islands.
• Achieve an effective system.
• Ensure compliance with legal and/or regulatory requirements and all commitments signed by the organization.

The model for the operation and management of AQUIB is a management system based on the International Standard ISO 9001.

The commitment with quality assurance extends to all staff and to those professionals who act on behalf of AQUIB.

On March 15, 2007, the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification, AENOR, granted AQUIB the Company Registration Certificate and the right to use the AENOR brand with the number ER-0347/2007, which evidences the conformity of the AQUIB's management system with the UNE-EN ISO 9001 standard. On May 7, 2007, the certification was delivered at the Agency's headquarters.

In February 2023, the Agency passed the last follow-up audit (certificate).

The scope of the quality management system is:

• Accreditation and assessment of teaching and research staff hired within the University system of the Balearic Islands.
• The assessment of the merits of the teaching and research staff officer and hired from the university of the Balearic Islands.
• The follow-up to official university studies.
• The external evaluation of grant applications for research training.
• Evaluation for the accreditation of official university studies.

The Advisory Commission, in their meeting of 6th of March, 2023, approved the revision of the Code of Ethics of AQUIB (available in spanish and catalan), in order to reinforce the commitment to continuous improvement, transparency and excellence in the Agency's way of acting. The previous version of this document was approved by the Board of Directors the 25th of October, 2011.
