ISO Standards at Crystran
As an ISO 9001 registered company, we are aiming to give customers, suppliers and any other visitors to our site an insight into our philosophy with regard to quality. We are a growing organisation that uses our QMS as the main driving force for the creation of profitable business by the continuous improvement in customer product and service. All of our staff have seen the benefits of the QMS over many years and are committed to its continual improvement.
Crystran's Quality Management System was approved to ISO 9001:2008 in 2009 by LRQA having taken over from our previous accreditation company. We were approved to ISO9001:2015 in October 2017. We have been approved altogether since 1994 (to BS5750), 6 months after the creation of Crystran as a stand alone company from Merck (previously BDH Chemicals).

We monitor how poor performance by our suppliers can adversely affect our on-time deliveries to our customers. We always try to work with our suppliers by involving them in our target setting and finding ways to reduce lead-times. Ultimately we may have to look for better suppliers. In some instances this is exactly what we have had to do.
