AVK’s ISO certifications
AVK has been working with ISO since 1990
where we achieved our first ISO 9001
certification. Since then, ISO documentation
has been integrated into our QEMS (Quality and
Environmental Management System).
The ESG data overview, at the end of the
report, provides a summary of how many
of our manufacturing companies hold each
certification. This overview is based on
the certification descriptions provided by
ISO.org, the International Organisation for
Standardisation.
ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is a management tool ensuring that
organisations of all sizes and sectors improve
their performance, meet customer expectations,
and demonstrate their commitment to quality.
Its requirements define how to establish,
implement, maintain, and continually improve a
quality management system (QMS).
ISO 29001
ISO 29001 defines quality management system
requirements for product and service supply
organisations to the petroleum, petrochemical,
and natural gas industries. This document
is written as a supplement to ISO 9001. The
supplementary requirements and guidance
to ISO 9001 have been developed to manage
supply chain risks and opportunities associated
with the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural
gas industries, and to provide a framework
for aligning requirements with complementary
standards employed within the industries.
ISO 45001
ISO 45001 is an international standard that
specifies requirements for an occupational
health and safety (OH&S) management system.
It provides a framework for organisations to
manage risks and improve OH&S performance.
Improper handling of explosives and gases can
lead to serious consequences for both people
and the environment. For this reason, AVK has
chosen this ISO superstructure (of additional
requirements) in our supply chain for the oil
and gas industry to demonstrate a high-quality
level and proper management of the company’s
processes.
ISO 45001 utilises the Plan-Do-Check-Act
methodology to systematically manage health
and safety risks. It applies to organisations of
all sizes and can be integrated with other ISO
management system standards.
ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is a management tool within
environmental management, which acts as the
framework for the environmental performance.
By adhering to this standard, we can ensure
that we are taking proactive measures to
minimise our environmental footprint, comply
with relevant legal requirements, and achieve
our environmental objectives. The framework
encompasses various aspects, from resource
usage and waste management to monitoring
environmental performance and involving
stakeholders in environmental commitments.
ISO 50001
ISO 50001 is an international standard
for energy management. The purpose of
ISO 50001 is to specify requirements for
establishing, implementing, maintaining, and
improving an energy management system
(EnMS). The intended outcome is to enable an
organisation to follow a systematic approach
in achieving continual improvement of energy
performance and the EnMS.
