Eurotech Achieves ISO 9001:2008 Certification For Quality Management System
Columbia, MD, April 30, 2009 – Eurotech, a leading provider of embedded products and technologies, today announces it has earned ISO 9001:2008 certification for its Quality Management System based on an extensive audit by an independent company. ISO 9001:2008 is an updated standard that was released in November 2008.
"Quality is vital to our customers and therefore to Eurotech," explains John Lambert, Quality Assurance Director for Eurotech Inc. "Our customer base includes medical, transportation and industrial companies that require a high degree of confidence in the quality of the products we provide. We're pleased to have earned certification to the 2008 standard."
Based on annual audits by an independent company, certification is a signal of the commitment company management has made to delivering products of the highest possible quality to customers. The ISO 9001:2008 quality system stresses continual improvement, customer satisfaction and regulatory compliance and provides a structure for companies to control processes to achieve those goals.
Eurotech originally achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2003, and has achieved recertification to that standard annually since then. Earning certification to the 2008 standard within 6 months of its acceptance by ISO indicates Eurotech's day-to-day dedication to fulfilling customer needs.
