Company Quality System
The ABB SACE Quality System conforms with the following Standards:
Q
ISO 9001 international Standard;
Q
EN ISO 9001 (equivalent) European Standards;
Q
UNI EN ISO 9001 (equivalent) Italian Standards;
Q

Environmental Management System, Social Responsibility and Ethics
Attention to protection of the environment is a priory commitment for ABB SACE. Confirmation of
this is the realisation of an Environmental Management System certified by RINA (ABB SACE was
the first industry in the electromechanical sector in Italy to obtain this recognition) in conformity
with the International ISO14001 Standard. In 1999 the Environmental Management System was
integrated with the Occupational Health and Safety Management System according to the OHSAS
18001 Standard and later, in 2005, with the SA 8000 (Social Accountability 8000) Standard, com-
mitting itself to respect of business ethics and working conditions.
The commitment to environmental protection becomes concrete through:
Q
selection of materials, processes and packaging which optimise the true environmental impact
of the product;
Q
use of recyclable materials;
Q
voluntary respect of the RoHS directive
(G6.4)
.
ISO 14001, 18001 and SA8000 recognitions togheter with ISO 9001 made it possible to obtain
RINA BEST FOUR CERTIFICATION.
