Rocla has been certified ISO 9001:2008 compliant after an audit by TÜV Rheinland Inspection Services was conducted in November 2015. The audit covered Rocla’s design, development, manufacturing and delivery of precast concrete products processes for the infrastructure sector.
Rocla’s Quality Assurance Manager, Vernon Gounden commented: “We are delighted to have received international recognition by our compliance to ISO 9001:2008 standards. It enables Rocla to meet SABS requirements as well as enabling us to meet tender requirements.”
“All our products and processes were audited at our Roodepoort, Virginia and Newcastle sites by TÜV Rheinland Inspection Services. This certification shows that we at Rocla implement industry-recognised design and manufacturing processes with stringent quality controls in place which ensure customer confidence in the performance of our products,” said Gounden.
TUV Rheinland Inspection Services congratulated Rocla on their achievement stating that it gave Rocla a unique opportunity to present its ‘outstanding quality standards’ not only within South and Sub-Saharan Africa, but globally.
Rocla is a leading manufacturer of precast concrete infrastructural products throughout South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. The company can design and manufacture products to meet customers’ specific requirements.
In addition, Rocla has developed the mobile plant concept, which involves the manufacture of products on site to minimise transport costs. Although the products are not manufactured in a ‘factory environment’, attention to quality is not neglected.
The SANS specifications in respect of product quality and manufacture are followed, and Rocla applies the SABS symbol to show that products comply with the relevant specifications.
