Standards
Quality assurance, or QA for short, is the set of planned and systematic actions necessary to provide appropriate confidence that a product will satisfy the requirements for quality.
Quality assurance applies to all forms of products and services. These protocols introduced the rules: "fit for purpose" and "do it right the first time". It includes the regulation of the quality of raw materials, assemblies, products and components; services related to production; and management, production, and inspection processes to survive in the competitive market, and for which it is essential to satisfy the customer by providing products with zero defects.
This also leads to increased productivity, reduced quality cost and eventually increased sales and market profits.

HACCP
HACCP is a methodology and management system of maximizing product safety. This stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Hettigoda Industries (Pvt.) Ltd obtained this certification in 2010 from Sri Lanka Standards Institution.
Within this system we assess all aspects of food safety from raw material sourcing through processing and distribution to final use by the consumer.
By identifying where the hazards are likely to occur in the process, we have the opportunity to put in place the measures needed to prevent those hazards occurring. This reduces the risk of manufacturing and selling unsafe products.

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)
GMP Ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. GMP enables companies to minimise or eliminate instances of contamination, mix ups and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. A key issue for product safety is the risk of cross contamination occurring during the process from the internal factory environment. Most of these issues can be managed through adherence to good manufacturing practices (GMP). This standard explains hygienic practices that should be followed in manufacturing foods, starting from raw material stage through to finished consumer product.
GMP regulations address issues including record keeping, personal qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation and complaint handling.
