Pittsburgh-based SRI Quality System Registrar recently issued an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certificate to Link Manufacturing Ltd., Sioux Center, Iowa, for an EMS related to the design and manufacture of cab suspensions, auxiliary suspensions, chassis suspensions, and accessories. An EMS can stand alone or be integrated with other management systems under the International Organization for Standardization, Geneva. An effective EMS shows a commitment to environmental practices, conservation of input mate- rials and energy, attainment of necessary permits and authorizations, Link officials note, as well as the intent to maintain good public/ community relations. "ISO 14001 certification provides evidence to customers, suppli- ers, employees and to nearby communities of the commitment that Link Manufacturing has to meeting its environmental responsibili- ties," notes SRI Director of Certification Edward Maschmeier. ISO 14001 was established as an internationally recognized standard to which organizations could obtain certification, and demonstrate an effective EMS, he adds. SRI is an internationally accredited registrar for management systems standards, such as ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO/TS 16949, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, ISO 20000- 1, ISO 27001, ISO 22000 and environmental management systems standards such as ISO 14001, RC14001, and RCMS.
