Understanding ISO9001 and EN1090
ISO9001 is a global standard for quality management systems (QMS). It provides a framework for companies to ensure consistent quality in their services and products while fostering continuous improvements. On the other hand, EN1090 certification is crucial for companies involved in the fabrication of steel and aluminium components, as it pertains to meeting safety requirements and compliance with European legislation on structural components.
Both these standards are pivotal in the industry because they reassure clients that a certified company adheres to internationally recognised levels of quality and safety.
QTS’s Journey to Accreditation
Achieving ISO9001 and EN1090 was a deliberate stride towards enhancing our operational excellence. The journey involved a comprehensive audit of our processes, training programs, and quality control measures to ensure they met stringent standards. It was a transformative process that aligned every aspect of our operations with best practices in production and management.
Benefits of Being ISO9001 and EN1090 Certified
