We have recently been working with lifejacket manufacturers Baltic Safety Products UK Ltd, who requested our assistance in transitioning to ISO 9001:2015 (the latest version of the ISO 9001 standard).
Baltic Safety Products already had a quality management system (QMS) in place, but we were asked to help the company upgrade their QMS and bring it in line with ISO 9001:2015 requirements.
We are very pleased to announce that Baltic have now successfully achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification via a UKAS-accredited body. This is a testament to the company's dedication and their commitment to delivering the highest possible quality in everything they do.
Why did Baltic choose NPT Management Systems?
The Baltic team enlisted the help of NPT Management Systems because:
We'd like to congratulate the Baltic Safety Products team once again on their success - we're certain that their customers will benefit hugely from the streamlined, ISO-compliant quality management processes that they now have in place.
If you need to achieve ISO 9001 certification or transition to the latest version of the standard, please contact NPT Management Systems to discuss your requirements.
Back in 2016, we helped David Store Navigational Management to achieve ISO 9001 certification with zero non-conformances. The DSNM team were so impressed with the support and guidance we provided that they opted to continue their working relationship with NPT Management Systems, and since that initial success, we have been helping them to maintain and develop their quality management system over time.
Shortly before the end of last year, DSNM reached another important milestone with the help of our experienced ISO consultants: they successfully transitioned to ISO 9001:2015, the latest version of the ISO standard for quality management systems. Just as before, this process was completed without any non-conformances being raised.
Here's what DSNM's Fleet Director Martin Amy had to say in the wake of this latest achievement:
"It's been a pleasure working with NPT Management Systems for these past years. As our organisation has developed, so too has our ISO system with the guidance of Neil and his team. To date, both our internal and external audits have been faultless due to careful planning and direction. Our future plans encompassing growth and diversification can be actioned without fear, knowing that we have robust processes and systems in place to back us up."
We at NPT Management Systems have worked with a number of marine industry clients in Southern England, but our knowledgeable ISO 9001 experts are capable of providing a tailored consultancy service to businesses in virtually all fields and sectors.

As regular visitors to our website will know, we at NPT Management Systems frequently work with clients in the UK marine industry. For example, back in March we told you about Baker Trayte Marine, a Hampshire-based company offering a variety of specialist marine services; we helped them to implement a robust quality management system (QMS) and pass their stage 1 ISO 9001 certification audit with zero non-conformances raised.
Well, our Principal Consultant Neil Peattie recently returned to the Baker Trayte office to assist with another audit that was being carried out by the company's certification body. This was Baker Trayte Marine's first audit since they achieved certification in March, and we're pleased to report that, once again, everything went smoothly and no non-conformances were raised.
Here's what Baker Trayte Marine's Quality Representative had to say after the audit had been completed:
"Neil assisted with our recent audit and it all went very smoothly. Neil's assistance since we first commenced on the ISO path has been invaluable; with his guidance, the process has been straightforward, and we would highly recommend his services. Thanks Neil - we couldn't have done it without you!"
We at NPT Management Systems have the knowledge and experience to help your company achieve ISO 9001 certification. We can also help you to maintain your QMS and keep it at a very high standard going forward, just as we did for Baker Trayte Marine.
