Solar Technology Inc. was re-evaluated in Intertek, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification, in July 2016 and was subsequently awarded an ISO 9001:2015 Certification for Quality Management System.
The Intertek auditors looked at Solar Technology’s processes, including engineering, manufacturing, sale, repair and service of our traffic safety equipment. SolarTech had previously been awarded ISO 9001:2008 Certifications every year since 2000. The new 9001:2015 standards were updated to take into consideration new technological advancements in the workplace and a higher focus on the quality of outputs to customers.
“ISO-9001 has always provided an exceptional framework to support organizational growth and continuous improvement,” commented Eric Zerphy, SolarTech V.P., “The latest version, ISO-9001:2015 takes things to a whole new level through the addition of a significant focus on risk identification, management and mitigation. SolarTech’s purpose has always been to continuously improve the lives of all our stakeholders (customers, employees, suppliers and shareholders – in that order), so we embraced and adopted the new ISO standard as quickly as possible. “
