Quality assurance

ISO 9001:2015 is an International Standard for Quality Management Systems that consistently meet customer requirements and improve over time in order to increase customer satisfaction. It includes principles of strong customer focus, risk analysis, the process approach, and continual improvement. Together, these principles will help to continually monitor and manage quality across the entire facility. ISO 9001 is the world’s most widely recognized standard for Quality Management Systems and Rieker Inc is now certified to the latest revision.

” The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved. “

The RoHS Directive stands for “the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment”.This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.

On the 1st of July, 2006 the EU-Standard RoHS 2002/95/EG was put into operation to ban the use of leaded solder.

The CE Marking is a symbol that indicates a product complies with the “essential requirements” of the European laws or Directives (directives are the mechanism by which European-wide legislation is enacted). The CE mark is not a quality mark. It indicates conformity to the legal requirements of the European Union (EU) Directive with respect to safety, health, environment, and consumer protection.

The CE Markings Directive (93/68EEC) was adopted on 07-22-1993. The CE-Directive gives a detailed description of the initials “CE” and the ways that conformity may be acquired. Conformity may be acquired by meeting emission standards, both radiated and conducted, and immunity standards consisting of radio frequency radiated and conducted susceptibility, electrostatic discharge, power line surges and fast transients, voltage dips and interruptions, and power-frequency magnetic field.

The CE mark provides a visible declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with all applicable Directives (there may be more than one applicable Directive). The conformity of the product may be proven by following a testing and/or certification procedure as outlined in the Directive technical requirements.

The mark is affixed to the product/packaging/manuals by the manufacturer after demonstrating compliance.
