  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. The practical implications for organizations that pass this aspect of the standard are significant; it establishes them as reliable providers in their industry, enhancing customer trust and satisfaction, and potentially leading to increased business and a competitive advantage.

• ISO 14001:2015

  ISO 14001:2015 is a standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). It includes requirements for how companies should design, implement, maintain and improve their EMS to ensure that they minimize negative impacts on the environment and comply with environmental regulations. Test results can include information on how well the EMS is functioning, how well it is being followed, and how effective it is in reducing environmental impacts. The standard also includes requirements for how the company should document and record their EMS performance and continuously improve it.

  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.

• Made in Finland

  "Made in Finland" is a label used to indicate that a product has been manufactured or produced in Finland. The label is not regulated by EU laws and doesn't have specific requirements, but it's an indication of quality and origin of the product. The Finnish government does not have any specific laws or regulations for the use of "Made in Finland" label, but the Finnish Standards Association SFS has a voluntary standard SFS-EN 16471 for products that are manufactured or substantially transformed in Finland. This standard provides guidelines for the use of the "Made in Finland" label and it's up to the companies themselves to decide if they want to use it, and if they do, it is their responsibility to ensure that the products are truly made in Finland.

• EU Ecolabel

  The EU Ecolabel is a certification mark used in Europe for products that have been assessed for their environmental performance. It is used to indicate that a product has been evaluated against a set of environmental criteria set by the European Union, such as energy and resource efficiency, and that it has been found to be among the top-performing products in its category in terms of sustainability. The requirements for using the EU Ecolabel will vary depending on the product category, but typically include meeting certain environmental performance standards, such as the use of renewable resources and recycling, and undergoing regular monitoring and re-evaluation by an independent certifying body.

• Food Safe

  Food safe refers to the safety of food products that are used or consumed by people. In Europe, food safety is regulated by the European Union (EU) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These organizations set standards and requirements for food products to ensure they are safe to eat. To be considered "food safe" in Europe, a product must meet these standards and be free of harmful substances. This includes being free of harmful bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants. Food products that do not meet these standards cannot be sold or used in the EU.

• Nordic Swan Ecolabel

  Nordic Swan Ecolabel is a label used to indicate that a product is environmentally friendly and meets certain sustainability standards. The label is used in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland) and it is granted by the Nordic Ecolabelling, an independent organization. The standards set by the Nordic Ecolabelling are based on the EU criteria for eco-labeling and they cover a wide range of products, from cleaning products to electrical appliances. To be awarded the Nordic Swan label, products must meet strict environmental criteria and they must be produced with the aim to reduce the environmental impact.
