QUALITY CONTROL Full certification to BS.5750 was achieved in 1990 and subsequently upgraded to ISO.9002 in 1996. We are currently working toward the new ISO.9001:2000 standard which should be fully operational by the end of 2001 • Inspection and TestingFull time quality control personnel monitor and check all production. All operators are trained and responsible for ongoing inspection and recording data. • New Products Having supplied the automotive industry for over 40 years we are able to supply Control Plans, FMEA’s (Failure, Mode, Effect Analysis) and ongoing SPC (Statistical Process Control) to individual customers’ requirements. In addition, ISIR’s (Initial Sample Inspection Report) are produced for first off samples on every new project.
