Rawlplug Vietnam & ISO-9001. First stage of certification completed
The manufacturing plant in Vietnam has gone through another successful audit. A positive assessment from TÜV means that we can proceed to the second stage of certification.
Last year, we reported [LINK] on the audit carried out at Bau Bang by the Certification Department of the Building Research Institute. It confirmed that Factory Production Control system implemented at Rawlplug Vietnam met the requirements for CPR (Construction Products Regulations) certification, thus making it possible to run stable production ensuring maintenance of the declared performance. At that time, we announced that the work would continue with the expansion of the quality management system by ISO-9001 standard certification, and we have been carrying out this plan.
ISO certification under the guidance of experts from Wrocław
On 29 February, an ISO 9001 system audit took place at the Rawlplug Vietnam Company Limited Plant. It was carried out by the TÜV Vietnam Certification Body. Rawlplug was represented by the Vietnam team: Kenneth Fabella, RV Plant Director, Ngoc-Dang Bich Nguyen, Quality Engineer, Jason Ngo, Purchasing Manager – as well as by Anna Donesz, Factory Production Control Specialist from the Wrocław Headquarters, coordinating all the certification work and providing substantive support to the colleagues from Vietnam. The opening meeting and audit was also attended by Krzysztof Woźniak, Director of the Rawlplug Plants in Wrocław, Vietnam and Thailand, and Piotr Rzyski, Rawlplug’s EHS Department Manager.
