[Sparks, Nevada USA] – Haws® is pleased to announce the awarding of its ISO 9001:2015 Certification. The certification was completed by SAI Global registrar who operates a Quality Management System that complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.

Haws’ scope of certification is for the design and manufacture of drinking fountains and safety equipment including drench showers, hose and spray units, eye/face washes and tempered water blending systems and the distribution of electric water coolers.

By obtaining the ISO 9001:2015 certification we are demonstrating our continued dedication to customer satisfaction.  The decision to seek this new certification so quickly after it was released emphasizes our commitment to be an innovative company on the front lines in both the hydration and emergency equipment sectors.” says Melanie Mayer, Safety Supervisor/ISO Coordinator.

ISO certification is based on quality management principles including an organization’s strong customer focus, motivation and commitment of top management, their process approach, and continual improvement review. The goal is to ensure customers receive consistently reliable quality products and services. The 2015 certification highlights key changes from the 2008 to the 2015 version which include:
