  Service Reliability Passed

  EN ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognized standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS), focusing on numerous aspects of quality management in organizations, aiming to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system. The 'Service Reliability' with a 'Passed' designation indicates that an organization has successfully demonstrated its ability to consistently provide services that meet customer and regulatory requirements while aiming for continual improvement. This assessment involves evaluating various elements of the QMS including service planning, execution, and monitoring, to ensure reliability and performance consistency.

  Environmental Management Passed

  The standard ISO 14001:2015 pertains to environmental management systems (EMS). A passed test result under this standard indicates that an organization's EMS meets the stringent criteria set forth for managing environmental responsibilities systematically. This ensures sustainable development while considering environmental impacts. Specifically, ISO 14001:2015 includes requirements for a framework that an organization can follow rather than establishing environmental performance criteria. It encompasses various aspects such as compliance obligations, planning actions to address risks and opportunities, and continual improvement. The test primarily involves evaluating the effectiveness of the EMS in supporting a company to achieve its intended outcomes regarding its environmental performance. If a company has passed this evaluation, it reflects their commitment to environmental stewardship, potentially enhancing their marketability and aiding in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

• OK Compost

  OK Compost is a certification program that verifies the biodegradability and compostability of products in industrial conditions. It is awarded by TUV Austria, an independent testing and certification organization. The program verifies that a product will break down into natural substances and not leave behind harmful residue in industrial composting facilities. Products that meet the requirements and pass the testing can use the OK Compost label on their packaging to show that they are biodegradable and compostable in industrial conditions. To be able to use the OK Compost label, a product must meet certain requirements set by TUV Austria, such as passing specific biodegradability and compostability tests in industrial conditions and not leaving behind harmful residue.
