Quickslide has received a perfect score during its latest audits for both PVC-U and aluminium products, cementing the fabricator’s solid reputation for quality and compliance. The rigorous auditing process uncovered not a single non-conformity, a testament to the thorough standards and checks embedded in Quickslide’s operations.
The detailed audit involved an extensive review of how Quickslide adheres to product standards and regulations, including a comprehensive factory walk-through to observe the procedures in place to ensure every product leaving the factory is compliant and top quality. From initial processing to final product inspection, the auditors left no stone unturned in assessing the fabricator’s ability to deliver consistent quality.
Following the audits, Quickslide has once again been awarded its QCC mark. This highly regarded certification confirms the company’s ongoing compliance with PAS 24 security standards and BS EN 14351-1 for PVC-U windows and doors, as well as ensuring that all aluminium products meet the same high standards under the UKCA Mark.
“The auditors do a thorough job,” explained Quickslide’s Quality Manager Julian Fielden, “observing everything from how we work to the quality of the finished products, as well as reviewing our processes and training records.
“We were particularly delighted to hear how impressed they were with how we are continually improving our processes and embracing new technology, such as our new machining centre and scan stations. These have enabled us to automate the recording of relevant compliance information such as weld strength tests rather than relying on someone to manually check and record the information. In fact, our operators can’t move forward in production unless everything meets the necessary standards. Compliance and quality are built into every step.”
Quickslide’s managing director Ben Weber said: “Our ongoing investment in innovative and progressive automation is really paying off for us, our staff and our customers. We’re thrilled to have passed both uPVC and aluminium audits with perfect scores once again. At all levels of our business, we strive for the best, so having this externally validated means a great deal to us.”
