Quality and accreditations

Quality assurance is central to the way we work and is at the core of everything we do.

We are committed to the continual improvement of our people, products and processes, and are accredited to the following standards:

• ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System
• BS EN 3834-2 Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials
• BS EN 1090-1 Certificate of Conformity of the Factory Production Control for fabricated structural steel products up to and including Execution Class 3

These accreditations cover the following areas of our business: fabrication, installation, engineering, procurement, inspection, testing and special processes. Regular internal audits and recorded non-conformance ensure that we maintain our accredited status.

The Quality department is currently combining our quality management systems – incorporating ISO 9001, ISO 3834 and BS EN 1090 – to provide a TQMS that will ensure consistent and integrated quality throughout all the companies that make up the Richard Alan Group.

We are also Achilles UVDB Audited, with a current overall Health & Safety score of 99%, enabling the UK utilities sector to be assured of our credentials as a quality supplier.
