ISO 9001:2000 Certification cements Franek Technologies' ability to provide superior product performance and customer service positioning company for domestic and international growth.
Tustin, CA - Franek Technologies, the leader in certified Category III-3 Laboratory Battery Backup Power Protection Systems (LPS/UPS), is proud to announce the receipt of its ISO 9001:2000 Certification. Especially important in the global marketplace, this certification enables the company to ensure its current and future customers that its quality management processes and procedures are standardized to create a more efficient and effective operation; increase customer satisfaction and retention; and promote international growth; while meeting all regulatory requirements and achieving continuous improvement.
The business decision to initiate the ISO 9001:2000 Certification was a natural one. For over 30 years, Franek Technologies has strived to provide superior customer service, comprehensive analysis, and custom engineering consulting. The implementation of ISO standards of quality management furthers the company's ability to service an industry segment that requires high levels of certification and has multiple established protocols.

For laboratory managers, the challenge is to establish and maintain instrumentation calibration in order to produce consistent and reliable test results, as well as prevent anomalies that could damage or destroy costly, highly sensitive instrumentation and often irreplaceable samples. In the automated world of laboratory science, there are so many variables to control and one constant that a laboratory manager absolutely must have is perfectly conditioned power delivered to the laboratory's instruments. A single power flicker lasting only 30-milliseconds can cause irreparable damage to costly instrumentation and significant lost productive time. Laboratories in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia need to know that the power protection systems they have in place will work 24/7, 365 days a year. ISO 9001:2000 Certification is just another safeguard that Franek Technologies has put into practice to reassure its customers that its products will perform beyond expectations.
