BIRNS Completes ISO 9001:2008 Recertification Audit

BIRNS’ Quality Management System (QMS) recently had its ISO 9001:2008 Recertification audit carried out by certification body and classification society DNV-GL. During the audit, BIRNS' QMS was thoroughly reviewed across all applicable company departments and all standard elements to ensure proper implementation, procedure compliance and proof of continuous process improvements, as required by the Standard.

ISO 9001:2008 is a globally recognised standard for QMS implementation from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

BIRNS first received ISO certification in 2009 and has maintained it ever since, identifying ways to improve its processes and concomitant productivity each year. DNV-GL has its own requirements for maintaining the certification, requiring internal audits and a surveillance audit each year, in addition to the 3-year recertification audit.
