Quality Assurance - Endorsed by British Standard BS EN ISO 9001:2000

Products included in this web site are manufactured under the BS EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Assurance Scheme. providing the highest guarantee of product quality, reliability and safety.

A strict quality control policy is maintained throughout the company from purchasing of raw materials to the inspection and testing of products. Spot checks are made throughout the year by the BSI inspectorate, to ensure that standards are not allowed to fall.

BS EN ISO 9001:2000 legislates for Quality Assurance and may be chosen as an alternative "third party guarantee". It also provides a means of underwriting the quality of products which lie outside the scope of product standards such as BS460.

On occasions, owing to pressure on normal production units, it may be necessary to manufacture certain components outside the confines of the BS EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Assurance license. Such items will be produced however, to a quality in keeping with that of accredited manufacturing units.

Components so produced will be identified on the Order Acknowledgement.
