SQAS (Safety & Quality Assessment System) is a system to evaluate the quality,
safety, security and environmental performance of Logistics Service Providers and Chemical
Distributors in a uniform manner by single standardised assessments carried out by independent
assessors using a standard questionnaire.
An SQAS assessment does not lead to a certificate but offers a detailed factual
report which each chemical company needs to evaluate according to its own requirements.
