Global mining hardware and software developer Maptek has announced that its Laser Imaging Solutions division has gained accreditation to the international quality standard ISO 9001.

‘Led by Manufacturing Support and Quality Manager, Quentin Lewis, the entire laser imaging systems team in Adelaide was involved to bring this to fruition.’
The final authorised audit was conducted by ECAAS in late May, with official notification of success on June 16.
‘The accreditation is formal recognition of the improvements that Maptek has implemented during 5 years of significant growth and structural change in the Laser Imaging Solutions division. It will provide customers with an additional measure of confidence in our capability to manufacture robust, quality systems,’ concluded Kalatzis.
The registration covers the Quality Management System for the provision of the Design, Development, Manufacture, Supply and Maintenance of Measurement Equipment, related accessories, software processing packages and consultancy services.
