Palatine ISO 9001

What is ISO 9001:2015?

It’s a quality management standard designed to help organisations demonstrate a commitment to quality and customer focus.

This standard helps organizations to highlight their ability to consistently offer products and services whilst adhering to an international standard. ISO 9001:2015 provides a quality management system to improve processes and maintain best practices

By implementing this quality standard into procedures and processes here at Palatine Paints, we can continuously achieve a better understanding of our customer’s needs and requirements whilst ensuring a high-quality product.

The Benefits of Being ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Palatine Paints implemented ISO 9001:2015 to benefit from improved customer satisfaction, increased productivity and enhanced customer relations. The requirements for implementing this standard is as follows:

  • Plan, Do, Check and Act (PDCA) cycle
  • Clear responsibilities for the management system
  • Define the quality policy
  • Implement a documented quality system

The first step of implementation is to create a plan which includes goals, resources and responsibilities. Next, we carried out a PESTLE and SWOT analysis to determine our strengths, weaknesses and strategic management.

We spent a lot of time on the PDCA cycle where we monitored our results to see if there are any changes that need to be made, it also enabled us to see if we were meeting our customer’s expectations. Any areas that we identified that needed improvement, it was actioned on right away.

Palatine Paints have always had customer satisfaction at heart and always produces the highest quality paint products on the market, it is the foundation of our business and will continually be just that as we move forward with maintaining the ISO 9001:2015 certification alongside any future changes.
