It provides a framework for organisations to ensure they consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements while continually improving their processes.

Typical fees S$5,000–S$15,000 depending on organisation size. EDG covers up to 50% for eligible SMEs, making net consultancy cost typically S$2,500–S$7,500 for first-time certification.
