Quad-Lock Components ISO 9001: 2000 Certified

For a company to survive, it has to distinguish itself from the competition. Many companies simply create flashy packaging or inventive advertising to accomplish this differentiation; few companies invest the time and resources necessary to establish a benchmark setting for their operation.

Effective May 2002, both Quad-Lock panels and ties are being manufactured by ISO certified companies. Quad-Lock is the only Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) to have its main components manufactured by ISO certified companies.

The process of becoming ISO certified requires companies to adopt rigorous, high-quality control practices and standards. Quad-Lock embraces the opportunity that these higher standards bring to provide an elevated level of quality to their product.

Tens of thousands of businesses are implementing ISO 9001:2000 Certification, which provides a framework for quality management and quality assurance. ISO is a worldwide organization that develops standards for industries ranging from clothing to nautical engineering.

Quad-Lock is based on three fundamental commitments – commitment to excellence, commitment to training and commitment to marketing. Quad-Lock’s involvement with ISO demonstrates its commitment of quality to customers.
