ISO 9001 and Quality Assurance

 

We are pleased to announce that Correx has achieved certification to ISO 9001: 2015 for the Correx Quality Management Systems. LRQA was engaged to carry out this certification and audited the company in May 2017.  ICorr are still progressing towards certification and hope that it will be awarded by the end of 2017.

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 Industrial Coating Applications Training Scheme (ICATS).

The scope of the Correx Quality Management System is the Management of the Industrial Coatings 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 embarked on setting up a Quality Management System fully complying with ISO 9001:2015.  This has also been a requirement by the Highways England.

Our Quality System has been audited by LRQA and is now accredited with meeting the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 Standard as shown on the certificate below.

The QMS will be audited both internally and externally to ensure ongoing compliance with the Quality System and continuous improvement of our system.

Correx are also separately accredited to this standard for ICATS
