10/2/2003. ISO14001 Preliminary Assessment

As part of Briton's ongoing commitment to the environment, National assessors NQA have carried out a successful preliminary assessment to ISO14001.

The accreditation process should be complete by May this year and MD Bill Burton was naturally pleased with the result. "We have worked hard over the past 10 years to minimise this company's environmental impact and this accreditation will validate those efforts".

Another recent contribution to environmental protection is the Company's switch from conventional supply of electricity to one generated from renewable sources. Bill is convinced that environmental issues will become a more important part of the modern manufacturing company. "We have successfully faced up to the challenges of solvent free processes and EMC regulations. We now face lead free soldering, "take back" and end of life schemes. We are confident that we can assist our customers to comply with forthcoming environmental legislation".
