ISO 9001 essentially undertakes a systematic approach wherein specific processes are outlined. This helps manufacturers to guarantee only the highest standards of manufacturing. ISO 9001 requires the documentation of a quality standard manual for every company. As well as this, the responsibilities of management and resource management must be specified and product realisation must be outlined. Finally, steps must be taken to improve upon quality management standards this includes the likes of internal audits and taking corrective/preventive action.

The safety of our products is extremely important to us and we work to source materials which satisfy appropriate flammability standards.
