DEK has confirmed that its Shekou manufacturing facility has obtained ISO9001 quality management system certification, following an independent assessment by accreditation body BSI. In order to achieve the certification, the DEK team in Shekou, China fulfilled a range of specific objectives, including quality policy translation, conducting a formal local review of nonconformances and customer feedback, the transferral of all measurement equipment into the DEK calibration database, and integrating operations into the DEK internal quality audit system.

'For our customers, the formalisation of the existing system means they now have an official guarantee that the machines manufactured across all of our global sites will consistently achieve the high standards associated with DEK.
In addition, the audits in China will generate improvements that will be fed back for the benefit of the overall DEK global quality system, not just Shekou'.
The final assessment of Shekou was conducted on 24th October 2005 by two independent auditors.
The audit involved a discussion with the Shekou General Manager, TK Wong, which centred on the operation of the facility and its relationship with the UK.
Having demonstrated top management commitment, the auditors conducted a thorough review of the system through a combination of operator interviews and the examination of supporting records.
'We are extremely pleased to have gained formal recognition for the superior quality we strive to implement on a day-to-day basis', comments Shekou's General Manager TK Wong.
'This successful process really highlights DEK's commitment to this region of their global operations'.
'As we consistently surpass even our own expectations, I am confident that following the achievement of ISO certification, our subsequent annual BSI audits will continue to showcase our consistently high standards'.
