While many companies struggle to get to grips with the revised version of ISO 9001:2000, Edwards Precision Engineering has been assessed and approved at the first attempt.

While many companies struggle to get to grips with the revised version of the international standard, Edwards Precision Engineering and sister company Chadwick Engineering have been assessed and approved at the first attempt After an intensive four-day visit from Lloyds Register for Quality Assurance the Quality Management System was found to conform to all necessary requirements and the assessor's report recommended the issue of certificates to both companies

Quality Systems Manager, Chris Ivory, said "We have put a great deal of time and effort into meeting the requirements of the new standard so we were quietly confident of success.

However, it was still a great relief when the assessor told us that we had done so." Technical Sales Director, Chris Pitt said "Our company system really is the cornerstone of our business and new requirements such as Customer Focus and Continuous Improvement have long been a part of what we do.

To meet the new standard it was just a matter of documenting them and adding them to our manuals.".
