NORMS & CERTIFICATES

Besides the standard ISO 9001:2015 certificate, SMI is also ISO 3834-2 certified. This certificate shows that SMI can safely produce structures according to standardized quality systems. These certificates apply to the entire welding organization. SMI is always prepared to obtain certificates to produce your welding work. For example: for the German defense sector we have obtained the DIN-2303-Q2BK2 Certificate. In The Netherlands, there is only a select group of companies that can carry this certificate. A DIN 2303 certified company is under strict supervision of an accredited independent supervisor to guarantee high quality welding procedures.

SMI Maatwerk is direct and indirect active in many different markets and industires, this has given SMI a strong competitive advantage as SMI is common with all the norms within the market segment and industries. Furthermore, our solutions and application developed for a particular market sector or product can be reused in other market sectors. Thanks to the experience gained over the last 30 years, we can develop an optimised solution for you and your specific application and market segment.

Whether it is on-the-job training, coaching, mentoring, cascade training or in-house courses, SMI Makes sure that all our employees are constantly informed and educated with the latest norms and qualifications. With these trainings our employees become highly effective skilled crafters and thereby directly contribute to a high quality product. Besides training our employees with current programs and skills, our company is constantly investing in new CAD/CAM machinery, which requires our staff to further develop the necessary skills to combine software with hardware.

Independent Quality Control

To uphold the integrity of quality control and assessment, it is important to maintain independent between the production of equipment and the quality management, this is why SMI works with independent quality controllers. Our independent quality controller makes sure that the requirements of the final product are met. During the entire production process, our quality assurance manager is closely connected with the production floor to give feedback concerning the quality assurance.

And when the smallest deviations are found, our production process is adjusted to create the desired requirements. Our products are used in a wide range of industries in which safety has the main priority, that is why we take our mission of the best quality very seriously.

 

Measuring Quality

Maximum quality is one of the key aspects which makes SMI stand out from the crowd. When high quality of the material is important, SMI Maatwerk offers a wide range of extensive quality controls to guarantee maximum quality of the product. If desired, in addition to our own standard quality checks, perform additional quality checks.

Thanks to the accurate measuring system, even the smallest deviations (up to 0.001 millimeters) can be detected. Avoiding deviations are especially necessary within moving parts, medical equipment and high demanding markets to guarantee maximum safety and durability of the product.
