It is adherence to these strict standards which provide national and international credibility to the documents issued by the Agency:
  • All personnel employed at the two locations are highly trained and licensed to perform their duties.
  • All equipment used in the grading laboratories is FGIS approved and 'check tested' biannually for recertification.
  • The Agency is monitored daily by the FGIS field offices through randomly selected file samples and also has a quality control coordinator at each office.
