Whew, finally, after months of trying to find someone to certify us in construction products, we have our certificate of factory production control. Wohoo! believe me when I say that if you are not in the electronics field or medical, this is a tough job. Nobody seems to know what products actually do require CE Marking to enter the EU.

Congrats, Steel!! :applause::applause: Your hard work has paid off! Well done! :agree1:

woot! Congratulations!
Who is your NOBO? Opinions to offer on them?

CONGRATULATIONS STEEL.:applause::applause::magic: Are you on to bigger better things now, or is it a well deserved rest?

Thanks all!

Our "NOBO" is UK CARES. They were very responsive to our need to move quickly once we actually found them. Kudos to them for pulling it all together from initial contact to initial assessment in about two weeks time. There are some other companies here in the states that I owe a debt of gratitude to, they moved up their surveillance audits to accomodate us. Thank you, whomever you are.

Dean, haven't you heard? There is no rest for the wicked. I've got NQA-1 auditors pounding at the door for surveillance audits now.

NICE WORK!!!! We are currently working on our CE cert in the MDD field.

Thanks all!

Gotta love the surveillance... our NOBO is going to be here next week for re-certification to the QMS module.
The auditor we usually get is a really nice and smart guy, but he's thorough and makes us sweat it out.

All of our certification auditors are good, a great mixture of knowledge and common sense. For the most part I do not mind audits at all, they help to make us better. But, as with all things there are a a couple of companies, and one or two contract auditors for customers who feel it is their duty to tell us how to run our business.:mad:

Thumbs up to you Steel! :agree1: Good work, and good to hear that you found a competent partner in the endeavour.

Have fun on the next audit!
:bigwave:

hmmmm, next audit, that would be Thurs and Fri next week. Nuclear stuff. But, the auditor has been here and is a very good auditor. He looks at what we do, not what he thinks should be done, and compares that to the requirements. Not a pushover, but we know if he says something, it is right.

Thumbs up to you Steel! :agree1: Good work, and good to hear that you found a competent partner in the endeavour.

Have fun on the next audit!

^^^^^^ me too!
