Thatcham are registered to BS EN ISO 9001:2000. The Centre achieved this
recognition in October 2004 after a focused programme, which brought
together and rationalised existing management good practice procedures which
form the foundation of the diverse research carried out by the Centre’s
engineers, vehicle technology experts and IT specialists.
Thatcham are recognised as an originator of quality standards for the crash
repair industry, and therefore must ensure best practice in management and
quality processes throughout our activities.
Implementing and maintaining an externally verified quality management
system has enabled us to deliver a measurable improvement in efficiency
across all functions.
