Data collection over the internet
Pico Technology has announced Internet Protocol (IP) networking support for its PicoLog, software for PCs used in data-logging applications, and EnviroMon, software for standalone data loggers.
Pico has been operating an efficient quality management system, compliant with ISO 9001:1994 since the late 1990s and is renowned for the quality of its products, order tracking procedures and customer satisfaction.
Tom Harland, global key account manager with BSI Management Systems, presented Pico Technology with its certificate on 11 June and commented: "Pico has successfully transferred to the much improved ISO 9001:2000 and is ahead of many businesses that are in danger of not making the December 2003 transfer deadline." After 15 December 2003, the 1994 version of ISO 9001 will cease to be an official 'stamp' signifying that a company is exercising quality management practices.
All companies, particularly engineering/technology ones, that are leaving their transfer to the 2000 version of the standard too late will have trouble satisfying the quality requirements of their customers.
Furthermore, some sectors (such as automotive) are ahead of the deadline, already mandating that their suppliers be ISO 9001:2000 registered.
Pico's certificate was presented to managing director Mike Green, who commented: "Our customers already regard Pico as a quality conscious company and, while ISO 9001 is well recognised throughout the industry and gives companies considerable credibility, we were determined to transfer to ISO 9001:2000 well ahead of the deadline." The ISO 9001:2000 registration mark will first appear in Pico's next product catalogue, to be issued next month.
