The Institute of Corrosion and its commercial arm, Correx, are both certified to ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management.
The scope of the ICorr Quality Management System covers:
- Governance
- Professional assessment and sustainability of the membership of ICorr
- Approval and monitoring of training and certification schemes such as Cathodic Protection, Coating Inspection and the Industrial Coating Applicator Training Scheme (ICATS)
The scope of the Correx Quality Management System is the management of the Industrial Coating Applicator Training Scheme. In addition to enhancing the operation of the scheme, it is also a requirement of Highways England that schemes approved for the Training and Certification of Personnel Engaged in Industrial Coatings Application for National Highway Sector Scheme 19A (NHSS 19A) comply with ISO 9001.
Quality Assurance and ICorr
At the Institute of Corrosion, we have always understood the importance of providing a high quality of service to our Members and Clients. We have therefore established a Quality Management System (QMS) fully complying with ISO 9001:2015. This has also been a requirement by Highways England. The QMS is audited both internally and externally by LRQA to ensure ongoing compliance with the Quality System and continuous improvement of our system. Correx is also separately accredited to this standard for ICATS.
