BSI confirms Sheffield Assay Office continue to get it right, first time, every time

February 2019 saw Sheffield Assay Office undergo a successful audit by the British Standards Institute (BSI), who recommended we maintain our certification to ISO 9001:2015.

ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system. Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. 

Holding this certification for over 25 years reflects our focus on quality and is an integral part of our continuous improvement culture. By embracing the principles of the standard, we have demonstrated our commitment to our customers, to our quality processes, and to exceed our stakeholder’s expectations. 

As our Quality Policy states: Get it right, first time, every time, and strive for continual improvement.
