EtQ is pleased to announce that its Development Center has successfully been re-certified to ISO 9001:2008 certification, after an extensive audit conducted by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).
EtQ's Development Center is responsible for the development of software platforms and application suites to achieve and maintain compliance with Quality, Environmental, and Health and Safety management system requirements. Part of the objectives of the audit were to:
Confirm that the management system conforms with all the requirements of the audit standard, Confirm that the organization has effectively implemented the planned management system, Confirm that the management system is capable of achieving the organization's policy objectives
After conducting a full audit of the quality management system (QMS) at the EtQ Development Center, the SGS audit team concluded that EtQ has established and maintained its QMS in line with the requirements of the ISO 9001:2008 standard.
A large part of EtQ's success in maintaining a strong quality system lies in its broad range of products. EtQ uses its own software to manage and maintain all quality processes, using its best-in-class modules such as Document Control, Corrective Action, Employee Training, Project Management, Reporting, and more. "EtQ utilizes its own software for internal operations," stated Morgan Palmer, Chief Technology Officer at EtQ. "This enables us to see firsthand how EtQ's Quality software is able to improve efficiency in daily tasks across all departments, resulting in enhanced operations across an organization. EtQ's continued success lies in our software's ability to maintain strong quality management and environmental health and safety systems across the enterprise."
EtQ has previously gained certification to the ISO 9001:2000 standard, and this recent recertification demonstrates EtQ's success in their quality system. EtQ is proud to have achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification and will continue to provide a consistent, high-level of customer satisfaction with its quality software as well as to maintain its paperless system to enhance the efficiency of its customers operations.
