TUV Product Service has redeveloped its website.
The company originally used another service provider for certification of its ISO 9001 quality system and the establishment of the ISO 14001 environmental management system.
Recently, however, Sutcliffe Play invited quotations for a combined annual audit for both product and management systems certifications, and found TUV Product Service to be the most attractive.
"We were persuaded by considerations of cost-efficiency and convenience to single-source our certification requirements", comments managing director Robin Sutcliffe.
"Not only were we able to secure a very competitive rate from TUV Product Service, but we also believe the company's name carries more weight worldwide.
"We are very happy with our new partner.
Quality has a very high profile in our company, and we have already developed our quality system along ISO 9000:2000 lines.
We find TUV PS' suggestions very constructive in relation to the continuous improvement required by the new standard." There are sound economical reasons for using a single service provider for multiple certifications.
With almost 90 accreditations for product certification and over 20 for management system certification, TUV PS can assemble a management package which takes care of the full span of clients' certification requirements within its preferred market sectors.
