Often talking about MARKING and PROCEDURES FOR CONTROL of production, we have verified that many identify procedures with ISO 9001.
The certification of quality company provides that there must be formalised procedures, but every company has its procedures, because are in fact the procedures that allow to manage any company.
Perhaps they are not clear and defined, perhaps they are not written, but one thing is certain: the procedures are present also if someone does not know or uses them in an unconscious way.
As the CE marking resumed the logic of the system of quality management focusing on the product, it provides that the manufacturer supplies precise guarantees on the methods of management which enable him to maintain the quality of the product during the time.
It is not enough to produce well good products. We must explain how they are checked both in production phase and at the end of this.
To ensure the quality of a product is necessary to identify it, to trace its entire production line until the design knowing people who gave the components and how are the relations with these suppliers.
It is also necessary to know how the entire production cycle is managed from the client order to the spedition and if there is the after-sales service.
All of this information obviously remain in the company and must not be disseminated, but in case of need they must be available in order to understand if a certain problem is for neglect, for accident or for shortcomings already in phase of production.
Therefore no fear, to make the procedures for the CE marking does not mean having to face the ISO 9001, which unfortunately in Italy have had a development contrary to the spirit for which they were created. To make the procedures means just to write what you do, obviously on the assumption that it must be done correctly.
