ISO 9001 Certificate
K2 Systems has been certified by TÜV Rheinland AG with the testing standard
ISO 9001:2008 in the sector of development, manufacture and distribution
of solar mounting systems. Our quality management system (QM system) was
thus validated by an independent body. Our endeavour to continuously improve
in all our internal and external activities is now subject to on-going external
control by the TÜV testing laboratory.
TÜV Certificate
The TÜV Rheinland Group first tests a representative product selection on the
basis of specific criteria. So that the certificate does not only represent a snapshot, TÜV employees then monitor the manufacturing sites of the company at
regular intervals and check whether the products manufactured there match
the examined test samples.
VDE Certificate
The VDE Prüf-und Zertifizierungsinstitut GmbH is a national and international
testing and accreditation institute for the testing and certification of electronic
equipment, components and systems. The safety, electromagnetic compatibility
and further features of these products are tested.
