Spokane WA - OpenEye announced today that it
has been recommended for ISO 9001registration by its independent auditor at
Underwriters Laboratory (UL). This recommendation for registration comes
after a four day extensive evaluation of PC Open’s quality management
system. “Quality has always been the number one priority so I’m pleased to
see our system finally gain the international recognition it deserves,” said
Jack Lynch, PC Open’s Chief Operations Officer.
ISO 9001:2000 has become the leading international standard for quality
management requirements. PC Open’s quality management system is audited
semi-annually by an independent and accredited registrar (UL) to ensure
conformity with the ISO 9001:2000 standard. The ISO 9000 family is primarily
concerned with "quality management". This means what the organization does
to (1) fulfill the customer's quality requirements & (2) applicable
regulatory requirements, (3) while aiming to enhance customer satisfaction,
and (4) achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these
objectives.
UL has already earned the distinction of being America’s leading quality
registrar and is accredited by Raad voor Accreditatie (RvA) in the
Netherlands, the Registrar Accreditation Board (RAB) in the United States,
Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the United Kingdom Accreditation Services
(UKAS), the Instituto Nacional de Metrologia, Normalização e Qualidade (InMetro)
in Brazil and the Japanese Accreditation Board (JAB).
