										As newly-elected U.S. President Barack Obama
										says, "Change is coming." The world today is
										caught in the turbulence of change, new order
										and new paradigm. At the center of the change,
										'change, change spirit' is the respect for human
										values, i.e. the spirit of "all affairs of the clients, by
										the clients and for the clients.?
										
 
 
  
										In this context, the Excellent Quality-Competitive
										Enterprise System is significant as the system is tailored to the interests and
										satisfaction of relevant and specific clients. The system, which has been
										implemented by the Korean Agency for Technology & Standards (KATS)
										for over 12 years, has served as leverage to enhance the competitiveness of
										numerous enterprises.
										
 
 
  										
										Quality management is necessary not only for enterprises but also for
										consumers at home and abroad. It is an effective tool to translate
										corporate citizenship into reality. Mirroring this expanded concept of
										quality management, KATS has included in its evaluation index
										environmental protection and social responsibility aspects.
										I solicit all Korean and foreign consumers' cooperation and good advice
										for the successful implementation of the quality system in Korea. The
										benefits of the system should apply to all peoples around the world.
										Change is coming!
										
 
 
  										
										Sincerely yours,
