Quality Management System
One of the most important activity for KEP is that meets the quality requirements of our customers, both locally and globally. Our quality management system has been certified to ISO 9000 standards since the early 1990s. Important certifications include ISO 9001:2000, ISO/TS 16949:2002, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 17025 and K-OHSMS 18000. We built on this foundation integrated management system including risk management system. The ISO/TS 16949:2002 covers not only the automotive regulations in Europe of VDA 6.1, EAQF and QVSQ but also the requirements of QS-9000 in North America and supercedes all of these.
