	Quality Management Certification
	The Quality Management Certification is the most stringent certification in the dry cleaning industry. It is a joint effort of WBC/ABC and the prestigious Hohenstein Institutes of Bonneigham Germany, which were discovered as the perfect compliment to the ABC model. Our shared goal was to develop the most comprehensive independent quality certification. In March 2005 a delegation of WBC/ABC executives and affiliates traveled to Germany to visit the institutes. The reach of the Hohenstein was quickly realized, as the delegation was given subsequent access to Hugo Boss and Willy Bogner corporate headquarters. While touring the research labs of Hohenstein, the current RAL RG990 certification was introduced and discussed as the model for future development of the WBC/ABC QMC and a long term relationship with Hohenstein. In October 2005 Christopher White Technical Director of WBC/ABC traveled to Hohenstein for certification and to finalize the endorsement of the WBC/ABC QMC which includes the RAL RG 990 certification. Failure to meet QMC requirements will result in the denial of prospective affiliates and the termination of recognition for current affiliates.
