Enthone Inc., a Cookson Electronics Company, has been awarded a single ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System (QMS) certificate for all seven of its North American operations. Specifically, facilities in West Haven, CT, Orange, CT, Londonderry, NH, Bridgeview, Ill., Irvine, CA, Toronto, Ontario and Mexico City, Mexico have received the single certificate. BSI Management Inc. conducted the independent, third party certification and issued Certificate Number FM 70921. The single certificate replaces all earlier site based ISO 9001:1994 or ISO 9002 certificates issued by various registrars.ISO 9001:2000 certification connotes that Enthone is compliant to International Standards Organization (ISO) quality management systems and has demonstrated its ability to consistently provide products that aim to enhance customer satisfaction. It is now the only standard in the ISO 9000 family against which third-party certification can be carried. ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 have been integrated into the new ISO 9001:2000. "Having an integrated ISO certification for all Enthone North American operations is tangible evidence of our continual improvement and commitment to a stringent Quality Management System," said Kevin Ovian, Director of Quality Assurance for Enthone North America. "We are excited to be able to offer our customers the benefits of a uniform ISO certification, regardless of location supplying product or service."Source: PCBnewsline
