Ventcroft are pleased to announce the company’s Quality Management System for the manufacture of Fire Cable  has been awarded BASEC accreditation to ISO9001 2000 (Schedule No CS1-196/001) and also gained certification to the advanced Quality Management System for Product Certification scheme, BA2250 Pt1 (Schedule No BA -196/001).

BASEC accreditation provides the company with the potential to increase our sales through our world wide wholesaler distribution network, in particular via specification for our fire cable for use on many large building projects in the UK and overseas.

The final stage is for BASEC to review our fire cables test results, with our expectancy for fire cable to have BASEC product license approval early in 2008.

The company has invested in excess of £100,000 for additional laboratory test equipment. In order to achieve this accreditation and, with BASEC accreditation in place, this will prevent our competitors wrongfully and misleadingly indicating to potential customers that a fire cable requires both LPCB and BASEC approval before it is suitable for use.

The board of directors thanks everyone for their efforts during the changes to our management procedures, with a special mention for Andy Groves for his guidance and patience throughout the process to amend and improve our Quality Management System to attain the BASEC approval. 

The company looks forward to another successful year and to add to our business of the year award of this year, the exporter of the year award in 2008/9.
