MQVP Achieves ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Certification
MQVP Inc. has announced the successful completion of the certification process to achieve ISO/IEC 17025:2005 registration at each of their MQVP(R) Vehicle Test Fit (VTF) Centers. MQVP is currently the only crash parts certification program to have directly certified VTF Centers using OEM-like part testing and approval processes.ISO/IEC 17025:2005 specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. It covers testing and calibration performed using various approved methods, as described by the International Organization of Standardization (ISO). It is applicable to organizations specifically performing tests and/or calibrations, including laboratories performing part inspections and product certification.
The MQVP ISO 9000 certification and the ISO 17025 Accreditation for Test Labs, according to a company press release, further aligns the MQVP certification process with the original equipment manufacturer best practices and methodologies.
MQVP Inc. received the official accreditation documents from the Laboratory Accreditation Bureau, its Third Party Registrar. Chuck Hansen of Hansen Auto Body, and Don Keenan of Keenan Auto Body, and their employees have provided expertise and overall commitment to this effort.
“The effectiveness throughout and the consistency of performance has been standardized between these third party VTF Centers as a result of this accomplishment,” said Neil Stolman, Operations Manager, MQVP Inc. “The ultimate beneficiaries of this accreditation are the vehicle owner, the collision repair center, and the MQVP participating insurance companies as the collision industry continues to gain further trust and acceptance of MQVP approved products.”
MQVP Inc., located in Rochester Hills, Michigan, is an ISO 9000 registered information systems and quality management services firm providing supplier qualification and quality assurance tracking systems to members of global supply chains.
