Certificates

ISO 9001 Certified When it first came across the ocean, they said you’ll need it if you’re going to sell in Europe. Then they said, you must have it to sell everywhere else in the world. Finally, they claimed that it’s necessary if you want to be competitive right here at home.   The ISO 9000 series of standards assures that a business is operated in a manner that will provide quality assurance for manufactured goods and services.   All 44 Series and 55 Series products have earned registration to the highest standard: ISO 9001; providing a model for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation, and service.   ISO 9001 certification is not easy or cheap. But benefits far outweigh the expense.  Certification is almost always required for overseas marketing and its importance is growing in the US.  The DoD and FDA now have contract guidelines based on ISO standards. It’s the future of industrial standardization and it’s not going away.   You can feel comfortable knowing you meet these standards with products from Switches Plus. If Your Product Ships Overseas… Most Switches Plus products carry the coveted CE-mark necessary to sell in the European Union.  If a product doesn’t meet CE conformity, it can be impounded and returned to the manufacturer.  Be sure to check that you are in compliance - check for the important CE-mark.
