Our Certification Proposal:We audit and certify according to internationally and nationally recognised normsand customer specific standards in the following areas:• quality management• environmental management• safety management• risk management• European directives (CE Marking)• Laboratory accreditation

Integrated management systems are the basis for a mutually agreed and consistent companystandard. Several standards are integrated into one system. As a consequence, this system looksat the whole structure of the company and prevents optimization on a local level i.e. creatingadvantages in some areas while producing disadvantages in others. Quality, environmental,safety and risk issues are an essential part of the whole company strategy. Follow this principleand make the most of harmonized solutions!

Integrated management systems – several standards – one system?

The calculated management of risk is a challenge for every company. Products and companiesare faced with constantly changing requirements. New technologies, constantly changing marketand supplier structures with their own laws and standards require an up-to-date evaluation of therelated risks for the company.

Today, quality management according to ISO 9001:2000 is state of the art and as a result is part ofmodern business due diligence. Every company is required to show a clear commitment to quality.Besides first hand product quality other aspects play an important role in business: classification,organisation, reliability, supplier loyalty, secure planning, coordination and communication.These are just a few of the exemplary parameters named for precisely defined customerrequirements. Certified quality management systems support the internal and external demandsenabling these requirements to be met. We can accompany this procedure with assessmentsbased on the international standard ISO 9001:2000, but are also equipped to use other branch-specific quality standards to enhance this process.

The endeavour of every company to manufacture products and create services as environmentallyfriendly as possible. The general increase in sympathy towards environmental topics and sustain-able development in certain circles of industry and the increasingly complicated environmentallegal aspects have led us to search for environmentally sound methods of resolution that can beidentified world-wide.On the basis of a certified environmental management system such as ISO 14001 you prove that

you are aware of the environmental effects of your processes, products and services and havecommitted yourself to continuous improvement. Your environmental policy is the documentedproof of your commitment, as well a basis to enable evaluation of your system. We are all concernedabout our environmental future.

A clear belief in safe work procedures with regard to Health and Environmental aspects – that’s asign of effective Safety Management. In Middle Europe the SCC standard with its branch specificsolutions is commonly recognized. Internationally, the OHSAS 18001 is the standard that prevails.
