ISO 9001

Since 1998 Spaans Babcock bv has been certified with the quality label ISO9001. In 2019 the auditors of Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance have conducted their 3-yearly certification review which resulted again in a renewal of the ISO9001:2015 certification.

The ISO9001:2015 standard requires greater attention to quality management; the new standard provides a company insight in the connection between product quality and concern success, contributes to a larger measure of customer satisfaction and to improvement of management systems.
