April 20, 2016

Dyrhoff Ltd is pleased to announce that it has successfully achieved certification to the internationally recognised ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard following an assessment by the British Assessment Bureau this month.

Their ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications underlines the company’s seriousness and integrity in its engineering field,  and actively demonstrates its ability to deliver quality and environmentally sound products and services, as verified by an independent third-party.

This rigorous assessment is backed by UKAS accreditation, which is supported by government.
