Below, we’ll explain why being an ISO 9001:2015 metal finisher matters to us and our customers.
ISO 9001:2015 Certification: What Does it Mean?
The ISO is the International Organization for Standardization, an independent international organization that sets quality, safety and efficiency standards.
These standards apply across all industries, products and services, including metal finishing. The ISO is recognized worldwide and endorsed by both the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
ISO 9001:2015 is the latest revision to these standards. ISO 9001:2015 provides a clear roadmap to guide companies like Latem Industries in meeting (and surpassing) customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
Being ISO 9001:2015 certified is something that matters both to us and our customers. Internally, it demonstrates our commitment to the quality and consistency our customers expect. That means delivering exceptional metal finishing services and customer service that goes above and beyond what our customers expect.
When you see that a company has earned ISO 9001:2015 certification, you can trust that their promises are backed by a universal quality management process.

ISO 9001:2008 vs. ISO 9001:2015
If you’re already familiar with the previous standards set in 2008, you’ll find few changes in the ISO’s current criteria. What has changed is:
- New structure (expanding from 8 clauses to 10)
- Renewed focus on top-level accountability, involving the highest levels of management in implementing and maintaining ISO standards
- Emphasis on risk management throughout the organization, using the system as a preventative tool that encourages continuous improvements to process
- More flexibility for organizations like Latem Industries to develop ISO documentation in a format that meets our needs as a industrial metal coater
- Alignment with other key management system standards
