Eriez, which designs and manufacture magnetic separators, metal detectors, vibratory, fluid filtration and sampling equipment from its facility in Caerphilly, South Wales, UK, undertook an external audit by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) involving all processes and departments within the business.
Following the audit, it was confirmed that Eriez’ business and quality management systems conformed to the requirements of the International Standard ISO 9001:2015, and the company has been awarded re-certification for the next three years.
ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised standard for the quality management of businesses and helps organisations demonstrate to customers that they can offer products and services of consistently good quality. It applies to the processes that create and control the products and services an organisation supplies, and prescribes the systematic control of activities to ensure that the needs and expectations of customers and other stakeholders in the business are met.
Eriez was first awarded certification of its quality system to ISO 9001 in 1992.
“Eriez has invested significant effort into developing a quality policy that ensures we meet our customer needs. All employees at Eriez have a clear set of processes and measurable objectives which are reviewed on a regular basis,” says Andrew Church, quality/health & safety manager at Eriez.
