BURKE, INC. MAINTAINS ISO 20252:2019 CERTIFICATION
Burke, Inc. proudly announces that it has successfully maintained its ISO 20252:2019 certification following a surveillance audit conducted in February 2026. This achievement reinforces Burke’s ongoing commitment to research excellence, quality standards, and continuous improvement.
ISO 20252:2019 is the globally recognized standard for market, opinion, and social research. It establishes a comprehensive framework for quality management systems specific to research organizations, ensuring consistency, transparency, and methodological rigor. Burke has maintained ISO 20252 certification since 2012.
The recent surveillance audit confirms that Burke continues to meet—and in several areas exceed—the requirements of the ISO 20252 standard. The auditor also recognized Burke’s role in helping shape the evolving research landscape, particularly through its thoughtful and responsible integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into research processes. As AI continues to transform the industry, Burke remains committed to advancing innovation while maintaining strong governance, quality controls, and methodological integrity.
“Maintaining our ISO 20252:2019 certification is a meaningful accomplishment for Burke,” said DeWayne Ray, Vice President, Quality. “It reflects the dedication of our teams and our commitment to a quality philosophy that goes beyond certification—embedding high standards into our culture, processes, and the value we deliver to clients.”
Burke’s ISO 20252 certification complements its ISO 27001 certification for information security, which underscores the company’s commitment to data security. Both certifications are administered by CIRQ (Certification Institute for Research Quality), a subsidiary of the Insights Association.
