NACE Intl., a nonprofit organization serving the corrosion control industry, announced that its Houston Headquarters has ISO 9001:2008 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the design and delivery of education, certification, conferences, subscription services (membership and publications) and technical documents.
“NACE has grown significantly and quickly over the past five years,” said NACE CEO Bob Chalker. “It was time to put our house in order, to take a good look at how we operate and to see where there was room for improvement. Embarking on the ISO 9001:2008 journey came at the right time and has set us on a much clearer and brighter path forward toward the future.”
NACE Intl.’s ISO 9001:2008 achievement applies to a quality management system supporting all areas of the organization including technical activities, course development, education, customer service, membership, conferences, certifications, publications, human resources and purchasing.
With more than 35,000 members in 130 countries, a large segment of NACE Intl. operations relate to standards-writing. NACE Intl. has 155 of most specified corrosion standards worldwide.
“We know how effective standards can be in keeping an industry or a business operating consistently,” said NACE COO Matt Miller. “Standards ensure quality, safety and efficiency. Many of our members are ISO certified and recognize not only the effort it takes to get here, but also what it means to the quality of service they can expect from us."
