History
Achieving
economic growth through quality is one of the most important goals of
countries. In recent decades, quality has been recognized as one of the
principles of superiority in international arenas, to the extent that achieving
and spreading the culture of quality at all levels of society has been proposed
as one of the necessities of economic development in developed countries.
Therefore, most countries have national models based on their scientific and
national principles to recognize the leaders of quality and award the national
quality award. On 06/05/2002, the Supreme Council of Standards approved
the establishment of the Iran National Quality Award and the award’s model was
determined based on the model of the European Quality Foundation. Then, the
model of Iran national quality award was designed according to the economic,
social, and cultural conditions of the country as well as the characteristics
of Iranian organizations by exploiting modern management knowledge, and in
other words, it is considered a completely national model that can be used by
foreign organizations.
According to the
government law for the country's standard system approved on 10/03/2017 by the parliament
of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was also approved by the Expediency
Discernment Council on 11/25/2017, the Iran National Standards Organization is
the official authority for determining the National Quality Award and holding
the related ceremony and awarding of this prize. In addition, holding any
conference, seminar, and similar topics in the field of standards and quality
needs permission from the Iran National Organization of Standards.
