Catnic has successfully achieved registration of the new EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems Standard, brought in to supersede ISO 9002.

Echoing Catnic's own business philosophy, the new standard places more emphasis upon customer orientation and process management Catnic was assessed under the following business categories: quality assurance systems; office administration processes; production processes for both lintel and profile factories; personnel; measurement analysis and improvement

Each department successfully attained the required assessment rating for quality management systems, resource management production realisation and management responsibility.

The standard identifies management processes and determines the methods and criteria needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes are effective.

"Obtaining the new EN ISO 9001:2000 standard demonstrates that we have a proven commitment to the development and implementation of QMS and that we are continually improving that effectiveness," says Roger Thomas, managing director of Catnic.

"The previous standard was procedure based but ISO 9001:2000 enables us to demonstrate how our management systems work in operation, with the key objective being customer satisfaction.".
