Quality Management System
4.1 General
This manual has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 for
Company Ltd. It covers the activities carried out at the site as defined in the Company’s
address and for the scope stated in QM 01 page 1 of 18 of this manual.
Wherever possible, quality controls have been integrated into existing systems
(environment, health and safety) and cross-referenced for ease of interpretation.
The effective implementation of the QMS is verified by regular inspections, reviews and
audits that compare management practice against the requirements of the written
procedures on QMS standards. Corrective actions are taken where necessary and are
subsequently reviewed for effectiveness.
Structure
The QMS documents are on 3 tiers or levels:
1 This quality manual forms the top tier. It covers the following areas:
contains a statement of our Quality Policy;
sets out our Objectives;
generally outlines the system documentation;
addresses the ISO 9001:2000 clause for management responsibility;
refers to the procedures and other documents where the remaining applicable
clauses are dealt with in greater detail.
2 The second tier largely consists of documented quality procedures. These specify
controls on activities which may affect the quality of our services. In addition to these
procedures, specific work instructions may be developed - as necessary - for an
individual contract.
3 The third tier includes detailed forms, work instructions, records, drawings,
specifications, Customer’s orders etc. The use of these documents may be
referred to in procedures.
