On 7th March 2006, BSI officially presented three Business Management Certificates to Cookson Electronics' executives at their site in Shenzhen, China. These certificates recognise exceptional performance in meeting stringent standards for the company's quality management system (QMS) ISO9001:2000; its environmental management system (EMS) ISO 14001:2004; and its, occupational health and safety assessment series OHSAS:18001. Presentations were made by John Broome, Vice President of Operations and Compliance, Asia-Pacific for BSI Management Systems.

'Our Cookson Electronics Shenzhen facility is the second of our Asia-Pacific sites to achieve registration to all three business management standards'.

'The other site is Cookson Taiwan', said Dr Nicholas Banis, Cookson Electronics' Director of Global Quality Assurance.

'Richard Sin, our General Manager in Shenzhen and Eric Kwok, our Asia-Pacific quality assurance Director, were recipients for the Shenzhen presentation'.

'Eric has been most instrumental in co-ordinating all of our site certifications in the Asia-Pacific Region'.

Now, all Cookson Electronics Asia-Pacific sites have achieved QMS certifications through BSI (either ISO9001:2000 and/or ISO/TS16949).

Sites that have achieved EMS ISO14001:2004 to date include Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Shenzhen.

The sites in India and Japan are pending EMS certification.

All three regions (Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific) have achieved QMS ISO9001:2000 regional certification schemes through BSI, attesting to integration of systems.
