FILIPINAS DRAVO CORPORATION, A LEADING ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTING COMPANY IS ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED

Filipinas Dravo Corporation (FDC) is now ISO 9001:2008 certified. FDC’s nominated external auditor and certifying body, the Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification last August 03, 2010, after it has audited that FDC’s Quality Management System conforms to the ISO Quality Management System standards in terms of its operation as an Engineering and Architecture Consultancy Firm.

The said certificate is valid for three years until August 02, 2013.

During the certificate awarding ceremony last August 20, 2010, SGS Division Manager Mr. Roger Villanueva in his speech conveyed SGS’s satisfaction of FDC’s Quality Management System and encouraged FDC officers and staffs to properly implement the quality management system side by side with the company’s policy in order to enhance the competitiveness of the organization, and to meet the customer’s needs. He said that the two should always go together and FDC should not let one of them sleep or else the whole system will be affected.

In response, FDC’s President and CEO Ricardo M. Yuzon, Jr. iterated FDC’s commitment to provide the best quality and world-class consultancy services to meet its customer’s needs and expectations in the fields of engineering and architecture. We should continually improve in every aspect to showcase the quest for excellence of the Filipinos,” he added.

As an ISO certified organization, FDC’s Quality Management System should always conform to the ISO 9001:2008 standards. Nominated auditors will perform periodic surveillances covering the company’s management system, documentation, and process of rendering services. After the three-year period, the validity of the ISO certificate can be extended after a reassessment audit. The auditors will then check if FDC’s quality management system implementation is still in conformance to the ISO 9001:2008 standards.

The Filipinas Dravo Corporation commits itself to sustain the ISO 9001:2008 standards.
