Urban now ISO 9001:2008-Certified


Initially ISO-certified in 2000, Urban Engineers, Inc. now can proudly state that it has met the updated requirements to be ISO 9001:2008-certified. The 2008 edition of ISO updates the 2000 version by clarifying requirements and improving consistency with the environmental management system standard, ISO 14001:2004.

According to the International Organization for Standardization, “ISO 9001:2008 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization

  • needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
  • aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.”

ISO standards are periodically updated for clarity and to meet changes in technology, methods and materials, and new quality and safety requirements,
