ISO 9001:2000

ISO 9001:2000 Certification

The International Standard is based on eight quality management principles:

• Customer Focused Organization
• Leadership
• Involvement of People
• Process Approach
• System Approach to Management
• Continual Improvement
• Factual Approach to Decision Making
• Mutually Beneficial Supplier Relationships

Scope

This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization:

1. needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements, and
2. aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable regulatory requirements.

Why ISO certification can give you the greatest confidence

As a competitor in the global market, Gorman-Rupp Industries is proud of its ISO 9001:2000 certification. What this certification represents to the industry is that our company has achieved conformance to the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) most comprehensive design, production and service standards – an accomplishment reserved for a relatively small number of corporations worldwide. But, it’s what the ISO 9001:2000 certification represents to our customers that makes us prouder still.

What ISO 9001 means to you

Although not intended to measure product quality, ISO 9001:2000 does ensure to our customers that Gorman-Rupp has systems and procedures in place that positively impact the quality of our product. These systems and procedures are far reaching and include the calibration of test instruments, employee training and the documentation of procedures for controlling and verifying the design of products. And, through periodic and ongoing ISO auditing, our customers can be confident that these quality standards are being rigorously upheld, ensuring that our products are continually designed and produced under carefully scrutinized, quality-oriented systems.

At Gorman-Rupp Industries, we take great pride in our registration as an ISO 9001:2000 company. For us, it represents hard-earned recognition for the quality-first philosophy that has driven our company in the past.
