Comdel Earns ISO 9001:2000 Certification

The certificate of registration was administered by the National Standards Authority of Ireland and covers the design, manufactures, and support of Comdel's RF and DC power delivery systems. The new version of the ISO 9001 standard places greater emphasis on top management involvement in the quality process, as well as a greater focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

Comdel announced in February of this year that the Comdel UK facility received ISO 9001:2000 certification from the United Registrar of Systems, Ltd. By having both the US and UK facilities aligned under the same standard, Comdel provides objective verification that their power delivery products meet the most stringent quality requirements throughout all of its operations.

"The dedication of the Comdel team to our quality initiative proved to be invaluable throughout the six-month implementation process," noted Scott Johnson, Sr. Vice President for Comdel. "We are justifiably proud of this achievement, which provides our customers with added confidence in their decision to partner with Comdel."

Comdel was originally certified to the ISO 9001:1994 standard and maintained this ranking through biannual maintenance compliance audits. Under the new standard, regular surveillance audits and bi-annual reassessment audits will be conducted by NSAI. In addition, Comdel regularly surveys customers to ensure that products and business processes continue to evolve and improve.
