Integrated Management

Integrated Management

First-class employees, cutting-edge technology, and high-quality materials form the basis of our capabilities. The principles of quality, occupational safety, and environmental protection management, which have been further developed into integrated management (IMS), form the framework. With these principles, we ensure person-independent standards in our processes and procedures. Internal and external observers continuously check whether the processes applied continue to meet customer needs and our own maximum requirements.

Policy Statement of the Management

Our Quality Promise

Our IMS has been successfully audited by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) and covers the following areas:

  • Quality management (QM) according to ISO 9001
  • Environmental management (EM) according to ISO 14001
  • Occupational health and safety management (OHS) according to ISO 45001
  • Energy management (EM) according to ISO 50001

The current LRQA certificate can be downloaded here.

Our quality management system (QM) has been certified according to ISO 9001 since 1990. With the introduction of the environmental management system (EM) in 2006, we standardized our first documents and implemented common processes. The implementation of the occupational health and safety management system (AM) in 2007 was already carried out with the aim of transferring the various management systems into an “integrated management system,” which was successfully implemented as part of the recertification in 2008. Building on this, the initial certification of the energy management system (EM) according to ISO 50001 took place in 2011. With the recertification for AM, QM, and UM in 2013, the complete integration of the EM into the existing IMS was completed.

The integrated management system helps us to master complex tasks and creates transparency. The continuous improvement process implemented in the IMS and the ideas management system are used equally to optimize processes in environmental protection, quality, and energy management, as well as to improve occupational safety.

Our Testing Laboratory

DAkkS accreditation confirms that testing activities in the testing laboratory and the acceptance of heavy plate within Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH are carried out in compliance with the specifications and requirements of DIN EN ISO 17025. The German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) regularly reviews and confirms this as an impartial national accreditation body acting as an authority on behalf of the state. The testing procedures listed in the scope of accreditation are regularly reviewed to ensure that the requirements continue to be met. In addition, continuous interlaboratory tests and proficiency tests confirm the competence of the Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH testing laboratory.
