Quality MANAGEMENT, TESTING & TRACEABILITY
At SN Bolting, we strive to work to the very highest levels from a quality / technical perspective. As service-driven project management specialists, we operate a highly detailed ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, that functions on intricate Operating Procedures & Processes. Covering all types of certifications, documentation, and additional testing, our stringent operating processes prioritise product quality and continuous improvement. You can download a PDF version of our ISO 9001:2015 certificate, issued by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB), at the link below.
100% Traceability
Most of our parts are lightly etched with the manufacturer’s symbol (SNB), material grade, and 3-digit cast code. This ensures 100% individual part traceability to the original Mill. Taking pride in our technical expertise, we take quality extremely seriously and monitor all aspects of our business with KPIs and performance targets.
CALIBRATED MEASURING EQUIPMENT
Parts are inspected at every stage of production by our QA facility, via the use of fully calibrated measuring equipment. This includes:
