Enviro Technology Services Ltd has recently made the successful transition from ISO9001:2008 to the latest version of the standard, ISO9001:2015.
The scope of ET’s BSI accredited ISO9001 Quality Management System covers “the design, manufacture, installation, and servicing of environmental monitoring systems and associated equipment” and the certificate is valid until September 2018.
ET’s Managing Director, Duncan Mounsor explains “We have held our ISO 9001 quality certification for almost 20 years, so having this certification is nothing new for us, but that said, we are pleased that the hard work that we put in for the transition to the new 2015 revision to the standard has paid off as there are only a few companies to have made the transition so far, and even fewer (if any) in the environmental monitoring sector”.
ET also operates BSI accredited and certified ISO 14001 environmental and OHSAS 18001 health and safety management systems.
Mounsor continues, “Quality is fundamentally important at ET; quality of products, quality of service and at every level within the business. And operating in the environmental sector, it is essential for us to walk the walk and not just pay lip service with regards to our environmental impacts and we are proud of our environmental achievements to date. These include changing our entire fleet of diesel estate cars to petrol-electric hybrids as well as a programme of changing all the fluorescent tubes in our head office over to LED panels which we are midway through.
Mounsor concludes, “Customers and stakeholders increasingly expect businesses to work to high quality, documented and externally audited management systems for quality, environment and health & safety. At ET, our accreditation and certification for all three of our systems is with BSI, one of the world’s leading, top-tier certification bodies who we are proud to align ourselves with. Having these systems requires top management commitment, investment and hard work and they are audited each year by BSI at their surveillance visits. We could have made the decision to go down the cheaper, easier, non-accredited self-audit road with our management systems, but feel that our customers, stakeholders, and employees deserve more. It is all about continuous improvement at ET and that is what drives us forward.
