Engineering Council UK receives ISO 9001 Certification

ISO Presentation

At a presentation held at its offices in central London, Sir Colin Terry, Chairman of the Engineering Council UK (ECUK ) was presented with a Certificate confirming its approval to the quality management system standard ISO 9001/2000.   The Certificate was presented by Chris Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance Ltd (LRQA), who is himself a Chartered Engineer.

The award followed 15 months of hard work by ECUK staff, backed by the Board, to establish the necessary procedures and culture.

On receiving the certificate, Sir Colin commented "We hope this award will help to demonstrate how seriously we take the integrity of the Register of Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineers and Engineering Technicians.   We believe the rigour of the Standard will help to build confidence in the value of registration, and the even-handed nature of our procedures".

The certificate of approval covers setting and maintenance of standards of competence for engineers, licensing of institutions to promote and uphold the standards and maintenance of the register of Chartered Engineers, Incorporated Engineers and Engineering Technicians.   In order for ECUK to maintain the high standards set, it will continue to be evaluated during regular visits by LRQA assessors.
