BOC receives third ISO certification

Manama : The Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC) was recently received the ISO 9001 certification for its quality management system for the third consecutive year.

The certification was granted as representatives of French firm Bureau Veritas Certification, which handles the ISO certification, made some auditing procedures on BOC directorates’ administrative work to ensure their commitment to the quality system.

BOC Strategic Planning manager Hasan Abdullatif attributed this achievement to the significant support from HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, representative of His Majesty the King for Charity Works and Youth Affairs, Supreme Council for Youth and Sports Chairman, and BOC President, to the committee.

Abdullatif also noted that the efforts of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports deputy general secretary and BOC general secretary Abdulrahman Askar played a major part in the committee winning this award for the second year in a row.

He added that having granted the ISO 9001 certification is in line with the strategic plan of the committee, and asserted the hard working efforts of the Strategic Planning Directorate and coordinating together with other directorates of the committee, which contributed to this achievement.
