What is an accredited aluminum extrusion manufacturer? Let’s take a closer look at what that means.
Star Extruded Shapes, an accredited aluminum extrusion manufacturer for both ASR and ANSI, is dedicated to maintaining the highest certification standards. This commitment ensures that clients receive the best possible experience. But what do these accreditations mean for Star and, more importantly, for you as a client? Let’s explore their significance.
What is American Systems Registrar?
American Systems Registrar (ASR) is an ANAB-accredited and IATF-approved registrar that takes a unique approach to registration services. Founded in 1997, ASR is dedicated to providing the best customer service in the industry, catering to organizations of all sizes and scopes. Their diverse customer base includes large international manufacturers, service providers, and small to medium-sized family-owned businesses.
As an accredited aluminum extrusion manufacturer, Star relies on ASR’s rigorous certification process to ensure that it meets the highest industry standards, further enhancing the customer experience.
What is American National Standards Institute (ANSI)?
The ANSI National Accreditation Board is a non-governmental organization that provides accreditation services to public- and private-sector organizations. ANAB is a wholly owned subsidiary of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
What is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 is a globally recognized standard for quality management systems, outlining a set of fundamental business principles. Over 100 countries have adopted ISO 9001 as a national standard, making it a benchmark for assessing and registering quality management systems across various industries, regardless of size or type.
ASR, an accredited ISO 9001 registrar, independently verifies that Star meets the stringent requirements of ISO 9001. Achieving ISO 9001 certification requires Star to develop and maintain a Quality Management System (QMS). This system ensures that the organization consistently fulfills customer and regulatory requirements, maintaining the highest standards of quality.
