Chemrez Technologies achieves ISO accreditation
Chemrez recently achieved a milestone in Philippine manufacturing history by becoming the first and only producer of bio-diesel to date whose Integrated Management System (IMS) was formally certified last April 10 as conforming to ISO 9001:2000 for quality management system, ISO 14001:2004 for environment management system, and OHSAS 18001:1999 for health and safety management system.
As an IMS-certified manufacturer ChemrezTech has achieved world-class stature as a manufacturer of bio-diesel with the highest assurance of quality while adhering to strict environmental health, and safety practices throughout the entire process.
With the ISM certification, it is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the ChemrezTech's organization as well as meet the needs and expectations of many of its customers who are themselves ISO-certified in many areas of their respective businesses.
ChemrezTech's achievement of IMS certification also comes at an opportune time as the implementing rules and regulations of the Bio-fuels Act are about to be issued and would likely contain an eventual IMS prescription for eligible producers of biofuels.
The Biofuels Act, which was enacted into law last January, will require the mandatory blending of coco bio-diesel with petroleum diesel initially at one percent in early May 2007 and increasing to two percent within two years. (MSN/Sunnex)
