Institute of Corrosion Quality Assurance
At the Institute of Corrosion, we have always understood the importance of providing a high quality of service to our Members and Clients. We have therefore established a Quality Management System (QMS) fully complying with ISO 9001:2015. This has also been a requirement by Highways England. The QMS is audited both internally and externally by LRQA to ensure ongoing compliance with the Quality System and continuous improvement of our system. Correx is also separately accredited to this standard for ICATS.
