Everything we certify, published in full.
Our management system certificates, policies and trading conditions, downloadable without a form or a request. Each entry states the certifying body, the certificate number and the dates it is valid between, so that it can be checked against the certifying body's own register rather than taken on our word.
Management systems
Three certified systems, audited by an accredited certification body with surveillance audits between recertifications. Certificate scope matters as much as the standard number, so the scope statement is quoted rather than summarised.
The policies our own people are held to.
A policy that is not published is a policy no one can hold you to. These are the documents our staff, our manufacturing partners and our customers are entitled to read in full, including the parts that commit us to something.
Sales and delivery conditions.
Our general conditions of sale and delivery apply to every order unless a framework agreement or tender contract says otherwise, in which case the contract governs. They are published here rather than referenced in small print on an order confirmation.
Delivery terms are quoted per shipment under Incoterms® 2020. Which term applies decides who carries the cost and the risk at each stage, and it is worth reading before it matters.
Per product, not per company.
Company certificates say how we are organised. They say nothing about whether a specific glove meets EN 455. That evidence is product-specific and batch-specific, so it lives with the product rather than on this page.
Issued per product, naming the legal manufacturer, the classification and the standards applied. Held on file for every item we sell and supplied on request.
Accredited laboratory reports against the standard each product claims, cited by edition. Where we hold a report against a superseded edition we say so rather than quoting it as current.
Pre-shipment inspection reports from SGS or TÜV, and the AQL result for the production run your goods came from. Available per delivery, by item code and batch number.
How to check that any of this is true.
A PDF is an image of a certificate, not proof of one. Anyone evaluating us as a supplier should verify independently, and these are the four checks we would run on ourselves.
Every accredited certification body publishes a searchable register of valid certificates. Search the certificate number there rather than trusting the PDF. If a number does not resolve, the certificate is not valid, whatever the document looks like.
ISO 13485 held for warehousing is not ISO 13485 held for placing devices on the market. The scope statement decides what the certificate actually covers, and it is the line most often skipped.
A certificate has an expiry date, and between recertifications it depends on surveillance audits being passed. An in-date certificate from a supplier who has missed an audit is a document, not an assurance.
Our ISO certificates say nothing about whether a given glove passes EN 455. Ask for the product declaration of conformity and the test report by product name, and check the edition cited against the current one.
