Hazloc Heaters^TM, a leading manufacturer of industrial unit heaters for hazardous and severe-duty locations, is pleased to announce that they have been certified under ISO 9001:2015 as of May 25, 2018. The company previously earned certification under ISO 9001:2008 in 2010 and has been audited and registered annually by QAS International.

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2015 is the most updated standard of its kind and focuses on quality management systems and performance. It assists companies in developing a management system that aligns quality with their wider business strategy. There is a focus on risk-based thinking and accountability in all organizational processes that helps improve communications, efficiency, and a culture of continuous improvement.

For any company, the road to certification requires time and commitment. Hazloc Heaters^TM began their internal preparation for certification in May of 2017, by evaluating their existing procedures and aligning them with the new requirements. Since their documentation and procedures were already well established and compliant with ISO 9001:2008, they only needed to make minor changes to their quality system and overall processes and procedures to meet the new standards.

Hazloc Heaters^TM General Manager, Darren Ochosky, stated, “The certification to the latest 2015 standard recognizes our hard work and dedication to helping our customers grow and prosper by providing high quality products and services. In our mind, Quality is… Customers that come back and products that don’t.”
