Chiang Mai University Library has been assessed and simultaneously certified for two international standards: ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management System and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The certification was awarded by a world-leading assessment institute, CCQM The Con Cern Quality Management GmbH, from the Swiss Confederation. The library has continuously driven the organisation with a commitment to developing service quality and information resource management. In the past, it has achieved environmentally friendly operational standards, including the Outstanding Green Library Award in 2020, the Green Office certification at the Excellent level (Gold level), the renewal of the Green Library standard in 2023, and later, the Environmental Management System standard certification (ISO 14001) in 2024. This reflects the library's commitment to sustainable operations. In the latest significant step in 2026, Chiang Mai University Library, under the leadership of its executives and all personnel, has elevated its proactive organisational management standards by integrating the ISO 9001:2015 quality system to ensure maximum satisfaction for patrons, alongside occupational health and safety management according to the ISO 45001:2018 standard. This is to create a safe working environment, preventing injuries and work-related health conditions for personnel, operators, and all related parties. This success is a source of immense pride for the Chiang Mai University Library. It not only highlights the efficiency of information services and internal management but also demonstrates a sense of social and environmental responsibility. Furthermore, it builds confidence among executives, staff, and all patrons as the library progresses towards becoming a globally excellent and sustainable green digital library.
