We are proud to have been awarded ISO 9001:2015 certification, an

internationally recognized standard that ensures services meet the needs of

clients through an effective quality management system.

Our decision to work towards ISO 9001 accreditation demonstrates our

commitment to providing a high-quality and consistent service to our clients and

our ongoing investment in technology, development and processes and

procedures. To become ISO 9001 compliant, Kingfa Europe underwent an

evaluation process that included quality management system development, a

management system documentation review, pre-audit, initial assessment, and

clearance of non-conformances, all of which work to identify corrective actions

that eliminate non-conformance to the quality management standard. The ISO

9001:2015 demands a high degree of leadership commitment and is underpinned

by risk- based thinking. Kingfa Europe International’s successful certification is

testament to the positive engagement of colleagues at all levels, and

demonstrates a clear desire to embrace the standard as a fundamental element

of its growth and customer focus strategies. The benefits of ISO 9001 go far

beyond meeting customer requirements – management systems help to enhance

professionalism of a businesses’ operations and provide a culture of exceeding

expectations. This is helpful with employee engagement as they are clear on

expectations and goals and jointly share in the success of business growth.

In June, Kingfa was audited by a key European customer in the automotive market. The audit

was part of the customer’s regular supplier quality management system according to

Automobile Standard VDA 6.3. The results of the audit confirmed that all operations in the

operational process fully meet customer and system requirements and resulted in

RoodMicrotec’s re-certification as an A-supplier in the automotive field. In the automotive

supply chain, supplier audits are one of the most important measures to verify and ensure

continued high standards, also at outsourced production sites of the automotive industry

VDA 6.3 requirements encompass the complete organisation of a company, from the

personnel involved in the processes, the installed quality management system and its practical

implementation all the way up to the processes involved, so that the supplier’s ability to

provide quality is also verified. Special attention is given to the ‘living system’, which refers

to activities relating to continuous improvement and process efficiency in order to realise zero

defect attitude. The Failure Analysis and Optoelectronic laboratories received the

accreditation to ISO 17025 after the surveillance audit in May by the German accreditation

body DAKKS (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle

This means all laboratories of RoodMicrotec Failure Analysis, Optoelectronic and

Qualification Lab are accredited to ISO 17025. These results reaffirm RoodMicrotec’s

reliability as automotive supply chain partner.
