ADSA Celebrates Dual ISO Accreditation Achievement

The Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA) has secured not one but two ISO accreditations – 9001 45001– a significant achievement that underscores its commitment to excellence in both quality management and occupational health and safety.

ISO 9001 certification is a globally recognised standard for quality management systems (QMS). It demonstrates an organisation’s ability to consistently provide services that meet customer and regulatory requirements while striving for continuous improvement. In achieving this, ADSA has validated its robust processes and dedication to delivering superior value to its members and stakeholders.

Likewise, ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). It provides a framework for organisations to manage risks and improve health and safety at work, reducing workplace incidents and enhancing employee well-being.

“Achieving ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and safety,” said ADSA MD Ken Price. “These accolades reflect our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in our operations and our ongoing efforts to promote safe and responsible practices within the automatic door industry.”

He highlighted that ADSA had embarked on a “rigorous journey” to achieve these standards:

“It has been a challenging process which has taken more than a year to achieve. We have held up a mirror to our own processes, identified gaps and areas for improvement, and put improvements in place. As an organisation that helps establish and maintain quality and safety standards in the automatic door industry, we felt it was important to apply the same level of scrutiny to our own operations.”

ADSA’s ISO journey involved a comprehensive evaluation of its management systems, including audits by an independent certification body. The association’s adherence to these standards, ensures that it operates with efficiency, consistency and maintains a focus on continuous improvement.

This dual certification not only strengthens ADSA’s reputation as a leader in the automatic door industry but also provides significant benefits to its members. It assures them that the association operates with a strong emphasis on quality and occupational health and safety, fostering trust and confidence in its services and initiatives.

As ADSA moves forward, it remains committed to upholding these standards and driving positive change within the industry.
