Second QA pass
27th November 2018

Yorkshire-based fabricator QUICKSLIDE is celebrating success in its second Quality Systems Audit this year under the guidance of auditor CENSolutions.

Managing director Ben Weber, at Quickslide said: “The fenestration market is competitive and so we wanted to find a way of sticking our heads above the parapet and telling our customers that we’re serious about providing a consistently superior service. CENSolutions visits us for two days, during which time our policies, procedures and manufacturing operation are really put through their paces. Our aluminium frame department’s processes & procedures were pushed to the limits, and we’re pleased to say that we’ve received 100% pass rate for a third time.”

Compliance with a number of requisites is compulsory for all manufacturers; the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) setting down standards including BS EN 14351 for windows and pedestrian door sets, and PAS 24:2016 which relates to the level of security applied to windows and doors on ‘New Build’ sites. Applying this level of scrutiny to a further, optional certification is not something every business is willing to do.
