BS EN-ISO9001:2015
Our Quality Management System (QMS) is approved to BS EN-ISO 9001:2015 by DNV. The Company has held this accreditation since 1986 and it confirmation of our endeavour to provide the highest levels of quality and service. The scope of our approval includes:
"The design, manufacture, in-house repair and support of ball, plug, gate, globe, butterfly and swing check valves in traditional, non-ferrous and exotic materials to suit standard and specialist applications. Procurement and supply of valve and actuator packages to customer requirements."
CE Marking (PED 2014/68/EU)
For the EU market our products and QMS meet the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). Conformity to these regulations is audited on an annual basis by Lloyds Register.
