About AQCA,

AQCA and its Quality Control Council provide product line quality evaluation and testing services to businesses and the public throughout the U.S. The company publicly releases its Certified Product Line Listing periodically. All certifications awarded are free of charge and are routinely reviewed annually for continuance.

AQCA also provides affordable, flat-rate product line endorsements for certified lines, enabling clients to distinguish their products, maximize sales, and increase profits using the 'Quality Control Council Certified' (QC3) logo, a marketing tool unavailable to non-certified competitors.

In order to maintain the critical independence of a quality control function, AQCA is by design a virtually anonymous quality control organization. To the maximum practical extent, the company strictly limits its release of corporate or operational details. All business is transacted in writing, and AQCA does not meet with its clients.

All Council members and AQCA's technical staff have extensive industry experience in hardware and software quality control, engineering, testing, and product quality evaluation. Evaluation and testing is performed in five U.S. northeast, mid-atlantic, and southern states.

AQCA makes no claim or certification that any individual model, product, or food item is free of unusual or rare defects or contamination.

'AQCA' and the 'QC3' logo are protected trademarks of AQCA, Inc.
