“At WearCheck, we take continuous quality improvement seriously. Our services are regularly audited by a range of agencies, including SANS (South African National Standards) and the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards),” says Prinda Narasi, WearCheck’s Quality Administrator, who is behind the company’s ongoing commitment to achieving and upholding major quality goals.
WearCheck is currently the only company on the African continent that has earned multiple quality confirmation certificates, which include ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification, and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. These are audited regularly and the company has never failed to have an accreditation or certification renewed.
Narasi says, “We are proud of our dedication to top quality service – it gives our customers peace of mind, knowing that the laboratory results and analytics provided by WearCheck are scientifically accurate and would be replicated identically in any certified laboratory, anywhere in the world.”
ISO 14001 recognises environmental management to international standards; ISO 9001 recognises the integrated design, development and provision of condition monitoring services to international standards; and ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard that sets out the general requirements for the competent, impartial, and consistent operation of laboratories. Both WearCheck and its Set Point Water Laboratories division have received ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.
Some customers insist on only using certified companies because they know that management systems are constantly assessed and improved. Further benefits for customers include improved quality and service, delivery on time, the right-first-time approach, minimised incidence of mistakes, improved reporting and communications, better quality products and services, and more reliable production scheduling and delivery.
