Accreditations
Rimstock recognise the importance of continuous improvement and exceeding quality and safety standards given the role its’ products play in performance and safety.
For all modern OEM Tier 1 suppliers, it is a mandatory requirement to hold both TS16949 & ISO14001 standards.
Rimstock selected TUV Reinland Group in 2008 to use as their accreditation body for both TS and 14001 standards respectively.
- TS16949 - Only 39,000 companies Worldwide have achieved this status
- Less than 700 UK companies have been able to achieve the accreditation of TS
Rimstock is the only UK based wheel manufacturer/supplier to achieve this accreditation.
- It is accepted as the new worldwide automotive standard which encourages businesses to use the standard as a tool rather than a quality one
- It covers all areas of the business from design through manufacturing to sales and dispatch
- Managing every process throughout with the ethos of continuous improvement
- Re-auditing looks into how improvements have been measured, monitored and sustained since previous audits, so is key to maintaining accreditation
ISO14001 Is the established ISO standard to confirm companies are meeting their environmental obligations and working with local authorities
