Quality

Standards

Data Centre UK is currently working towards certification in these standards.

ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is an established quality framework recognised worldwide and is suitable for any business looking to improve the way it is operated and managed. It applies to the processes that create and control the products and services an organisation supplies to ensure that the needs and expectations of customers are met. It steers towards improved customer satisfaction, staff motivation and continual improvement thus providing cost savings and increased opportunities.

In addition, ISO 9001 is designed to be compatible with other management systems standards and specifications, such as BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety and ISO 14001 Environment.

ISO14001
Environmental impact is becoming an increasingly important issue which every business has a responsibility to manage. ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that provides a framework for putting in place an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) and controlling activities that have an effect on the environment. These include the use of natural resources, handling and treatment of waste and energy consumption.

OHSAS 18001
OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognised assessment specification for occupational health and safety management systems. This standard promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework to consistently identify and control health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance. Certification to the standard demonstrates a commitment to implement, maintain and improve the way Health and Safety is managed.
