Quality Assurance for Risk Management

Once under way, the manufacturing process is documented in Intertek's database, Intertek Net. Among data collected is information on equipment performance and materials, and compliance with safety standards. Safety evaluation is performed during and after manufacturing, and Intertek reviews all documentation to ensure standards were met.

Intertek directs corrective action if any problems or safety inadequacies are found. This might involve steps to form a problem solving team, prepare a recurrence prevention plan, and manage customer feedback and response.

Intertek verifies that every product produced by the manufacturing process meets or exceeds the company's safety standards.
