Interface Flooring Systems - LaGrange, GA

Interface Flooring Systems - USA Has Achieved Registration by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) to the International Standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) - ISO 9001:2000

The updated ISO 9001:2000 series now incorporates the requirements of ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994. ISO 9001 establishes the requirements for a quality management system for any organization that needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet its customers' needs and any applicable regulatory requirements while also increasing customer satisfaction. According to the standard, a product is any service, processed material, hardware or software, intended for, or required by, a customer. Its main objective is to help organizations establish and maintain best practices for every job function that will be covered under the ISO 9001 registration.

For Interface, being ISO 9001 registered means clarifying our commitment to providing the highest quality products and services in the industry. And, because one of ISO's requirements for maintaining registration is continuous improvement, implementing a Quality Management System as directed by ISO 9001 provides external recognition of our devotion to ongoing growth and development. Interface Flooring Systems has also maintained registration to ISO 14001:1996 since May 2001.

SGS International Certification Services Canada, Inc. registered Interface Flooring Systems - Canada to ISO 14001 in December 1997 and to the Quality Standard ISO 9002 in February 1998. Interface Flooring Systems - Canada is currently working toward registration in ISO 9001:2000.
