Accreditations and Trade Memberships

ISO 9001

Specific sections of the standard contain information on topics such as:

Requirements for a quality management system, including documented information, planning and determining process interactions
Responsibilities of management
Management of resources, including human resources and an organisation’s work environment
Product realisation, including the steps from design to delivery
Measurement, analysis, and improvement of the QMS through activities like internal audits and corrective and preventive action
Some of the key updates in ISO 9001:2015 include the introduction of new terminology, restructuring some of the information, an emphasis on risk-based thinking to enhance the application of the process approach, and increased leadership requirements.

ISO 14001

ISO 14001:2015 incorporates more business management terminology and concepts and ensure that systems are integrated into the organization’s overall business processes rather than being separate entities. The changes require effort from organizations to implement, however the overall result is a more effective management system capable of achieving better results in environmental performance.

Forest Stewardship Council^® (FSC^®) chain of custody

There are two parts to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) system. Forest Management Certification, which makes sure that forest resources are managed to high standards covering social, environmental and economic issues and Chain of Custody Certification, which traces the wood and other controlled sources from those forests through all stages of processing and distribution.

Chain of Custody Certification from forest to end-user ensures that FSC materials and products have been checked at every stage of processing so that customers purchasing FSC labelled products can be confident that they are genuinely FSC certified.
