IQCS user members are UK based research agencies or consultancies who do not have their own in-house data-collection, but commit to use providers who are IQCS accredited or ISO20252:2012 registered.
For smaller / independent UK consultancies who may themselves not be ISO20252 registered, IQCS User Membership provides a ‘badge of quality’ and a level of reassurance to clients that fieldwork on their projects has been undertaken by an accredited agency or to standards outlined under the IQCS /ISO20252:2012 standard.
User members enjoy all the benefits of membership and have their fieldwork projects annually assessed and accredited by our independent inspectors to verify that, where at all possible/practical they have used accredited or registered fieldwork providers.
