Renewed ISO Certification for Midlands Business

Helping Midlands Companies achieve ISO Certification for over 30 years

Quality Systems Consultancy Limited would like to congratulate Valgrove Oil Recyclers in maintaining ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification. We are employed as Valgrove’s Quality and Environmental Advisors, Quality Systems Consultancy Limited have worked with Valgrove Ltd for several years and have helped them to achieve continual improvement and system development.

In the last 12 months, we have provided Valgrove Oil Recyclers with continued support and consultancy to maintain compliance to the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 Standards. Valgrove first appointed us in 2007 initially to assist them through the process of implementation of a Quality and Environmental Integrated System and to ensure that all of the correct procedures were in place. Over the past 12 years we have supported Valgrove to ensure that their Management Systems have been a true reflection of how the business operated. Writing a bespoke System for Valgrove we were able to ensure accuracy and integrity and their decision to include ISO 14001 demonstrated their commitment to reducing their environmental impact.

Benefits of an Integrated ISO Management System

An integrated ISO Management System is one ‘Management System’ designed to manage multiple aspects of a Company’s operations in line with multiple Standards, such as the Quality ISO 9001:2015 Standard, the Environmental ISO 14001:2015 Standard and the Health & Safety ISO 45001:2018 Standard. Successfully integrating Management Systems can have the following benefits:

• Reduced duplication
• Cost-effective certification
• Efficient use of time and effective planning
• Using resources to implement and manage management systems in a more efficient manner
• Improve the effectiveness of a Management System

Annex SL and Integration

Annex SL is the document that defines the high-level structure for all ISO Management Systems Standards and is designed to better facilitate the use of Integrated Management Systems. It provides businesses with the tools they need to streamline and transform their existing Management Systems into one Integrated System with the Standards being more compatible, enabling more effective integration. The structure has been introduced in the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Standard , the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Standard and ISO 45001:2018 Health & Safety Standard.

Valgrove’s certification to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 demonstrates that the Company is meeting stringent Quality Management System requirements in the following areas: facilities, people, training, services and equipment. Attaining certification is regarded as the first step in the implementation of a process of continuous improvement throughout the business and that they have implemented, are maintaining and continually improving.

The team at Valgrove Oil Recyclers have worked extremely hard to achieve and maintain their UKAS certification and should be congratulated on their repeated success year on year
