For many years, WELLINGTON Laboratories Inc. has provided high quality products to its customers by using an effective internal Quality Management System (QMS). This QMS is dedicated to customer satisfaction through provision of high quality reference standards and services. As part of our continuing commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, the Reference Standards Division of Wellington Laboratories has now been certified to ISO 9001:2000. This certification will hopefully convey to you, the customer, further assurance the Wellington Laboratories Inc. remains committed to supplying the highest level of quality products and service through the application and continuous improvement of our quality system.

We have also registered to IQNet, a world supplier of management system assessments. IQNet is a network of more than 35 of the world's first class certification agencies, including our registrar, QMI. Equivalence of the certification processes is assured by periodic assessments of each IQNet partner. This registration permits the recognition of our management system in most of the countries we currently serve. This includes all of North America, most of the countries in Europe, several countries in Asia including Japan and China, and many other countries.

Two major corner stones of ISO 9001:2000 are continual improvement and customer satisfaction. Thus, we will continue to appreciate your comments and suggestions on improving the quality of our products and services.
