Management Systems
(ISO/IEC 17021:2015)

ISO 9001

Working under a certified quality regime is by now an inevitable factor in the success of businesses, even as the adoption of management models has been a precise strategic choice of the European Union. In compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001, but above all according to the vision introduced by the most extensive and thorough ISO 9004, the organization can provide a management model that leads the organization itself to the continuous improvement of performance and the achievement of overall satisfaction of all stakeholders of business processes (customers, employees, suppliers, owners, etc.).

The IAS Register has extensive experience in the certification of the Quality Management Systems using competent technicians and experts for individual commodity-related sectors.

ISO 14001

A focus on the environment is undoubtedly a key point for all companies. Owning a certification according to the ISO 14001 scheme shows that the organization maintains an appropriate management system to monitor the environmental impacts of its activities, products and services, and constantly seeks to improve in a coherent, effective and above all sustainable manner.

The IAS Register also proposes the ISO 14001 certification scheme for operating with specialists who have extensive experience in the field.

ISO 45001 (ex BS OHSAS 18001)

The abbreviation means OHSAS Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, and includes a set of rules for the management of Health and Safety in the workplace. The BS OHSAS 18001 standard is a regulation that may be issued a certificate of conformity indicating that the voluntary application of a system that allows you to manage the risk to reduce accidents, complies with legislation and improves the performance on safety. In the latest version of the standard (BS OHSAS 18001: 2007), the focus moves to the management and progressive reduction of risks, therefore on Health rather than on security.

The IAS Register is accredited to issue certificates of conformity to the standard BS OHSAS 18001:2007 in all EA areas.

ISO 50001

Using energy more efficiently helps organizations to save money, as well as contributing to the conservation of resources and combating climate change. ISO 50001 helps organizations in all market sectors, to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system (SGEn).

ISO 50001 is based on a system of continual improvement, also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. This allows organizations to make the integration of energy management easier in an overall effort to improve its attention with respect to the environment.

This standard provides a set of requirements which permits it to:

  • Develop a policy for a more efficient use of energy;
  • Fix targets and objectives to meet the established policy;
  • Use the data to comprehend and make decisions with regards to the use of energy;
  • Evaluate the achieved results;
  • Monitor the functioning of its policy;
  • Continuously energy management improvement.

ISO 37301

Keeping up with the evolution of the regulatory scenario of globalized markets requires organizations to adopt a management approach capable of addressing business risks in an integrated manner. To meet this need, it is possible to request the certification of one’s Corporate Compliance Management System in accordance with the international standard ISO 37301. Compliance certification applies to all organizations, public or private, regardless of the size and type of activity , and fits into a wider regulatory context, which offers the objective bases on which to structure and implement the Governance (ISO 37000), Anti-Bribery (ISO 37001) and Whistleblowing (ISO 37002) systems.

In particular, the ISO 37301 standard uses the term Compliance in various meanings which include compliance with both legal requirements and corporate codes of conduct, referring to:
Compliance Obligations: mandatory requirements, which the organization is obliged to comply with, and voluntary requirements, which the organization chooses to abide by;
Compliance Culture: the values, ethics and behaviors that permeate the organization;
Conduct: behavior or compliance violations that produce consequences on internal or external subjects, as well as on the environment and the organizational context, to the detriment of sustainability.

IAS Register makes use of Auditors and technicians with high and proven experience, so as to help organizations in the correct integrated management of Compliance, which represents an opportunity for sustainable and lasting growth, minimizing the risk of violating the rules, the related costs and damage to image and fueling the trust of interested parties. 

ISO 37001

Nowadays, companies are increasingly finding themselves facing and fighting the scourge of corruption, which represents a negative element, capable of causing serious damage to the competitiveness and economy of countries, altering competition, increasing the costs of interventions, products and services to the detriment of quality. The negative effects of corruption also damage institutions and citizens and must be stemmed not only at the legislative level.

A help to companies in the fight against corruption, on an international scale, now comes from the voluntary certification of their Management System in accordance with the ISO 37001 standard which, by adopting the same structure (“High Level Structure”) common to all other ISO standards on the management systems of organizations, makes it easier to integrate it with other widely used standards,  such as ISO 9001.

ISO 37001, applicable to any public or private organization, regardless of its sector of activity, size or geographical location, establishes requirements for planning, implementing and maintaining a system for managing and controlling corruption risks (active and passive), according to an approach to promoting an ethical business culture, which is divided into the following phases:

  • analysis and assessment of corruption risks;
  • planning and implementation of anti-corruption measures and controls;
  • monitoring of their application and periodic review of the effectiveness and adequacy of the prevention system, so as to ensure its continuous improvement.
 

The requirements of the voluntary ISO 37001 standard are therefore not new in an absolute sense as they take up principles, concepts and, in some cases, even prescriptive elements typical of systems and/or models of management, control and prevention of corruption risks provided for by mandatory legal regulations or with the aim of proving the exemption from criminal liability of organizations.

IAS Register uses auditors and technicians (lawyers) to guarantee that organizations deal with this certification with seriousness and compliance with the entire perimeter of legislative compliance applicable to the reference sector.

ISO 3834

An increasing number of clients require, among the contractual requirements, the certification according to the standards of the ISO 3834 series of welding processes for plant engineering, railway, energy, etc. and in the framework of the European directives PED 97/23/EC, CPD 89/106/EC, SPVD 87/404/EC which is the so-called “Presumption of conformity”. In addition, the final application on Italian territory of the provisions in the Act of D.M. Construction 14/01/2008 requires the certification for businesses according to the standards of the ISO 3834 series of its welding processes for manufacturers that use steel for welded structures in metal structures and composite structures.

The IAS Register makes use of specialists with high and proven expertise in the various welding processes to issue certificates of conformity to the ISO 3834 series standards.

ISO 20121

The ISO 2012:2012 specifies requirements for a management system for the sustainability of events, be they individual or related to other activities, providing guidance on compliance with these requirements. The organization of events is considered one of the most useful tools available to marketers and communication firms and the generation of resources and work that revolves around it can have a significant impact, both in terms of the environment, and in economic and social terms.

The application of a sustainable event management system conforming to ISO 20121 leads to the fulfilment of several benefits for the Company, such as:

  • the demonstration of a responsible approach with regard to the risks and opportunities of the environmental, social and economic type;
  • corporate image enhancement and strengthening of reputation;
  • distinction with respect to its competitors;
  • strengthening the organization’s position within the community.

The IAS Register proposes the regulation certification  ISO 20121 to the market, using proven personal experience, ensuring organizations to better address the sustainability of an event during the entire event management cycle itself.

ISO 39001

Governments, road authorities, safety groups and private companies have shown interest in developing a gold standard to cope with the increasing number of deaths and injuries occurring on the roads each year. In certain situations, moreover, the company’s contribution can also be of great value for the safety of its customers, users and the community in general. This is easily understandable for companies in the infrastructure, transport or automotive sectors, but not only: every company can actively contribute to the improvement of Road Safety.

The ISO 39001 – Road Traffic Safety Management System standard defines the requirements of a Road Safety Management System aimed at allowing each Organization, which in some way interacts with the road system, to reduce deaths and serious injuries resulting from road collisions, controlling and managing the variables that are under its influence.

The adoption of a Road Safety Management System according to the ISO 39001 standard allows an organization to:

  • Detail your policy in a more precise manner, specifically providing for issues related to road safety, in order to reduce accidents and related costs;
  • Improve its visibility on the market, helping to consolidate its commitment to social responsibility, in particular with suppliers or on the occasion of public tenders and Ethical Procurement programs;
  • Improve employee awareness and engagement.
 

IAS Register, through its staff, will help organizations that want to approach this certification to comply with current legislation, to improve their results in traffic management and to achieve a reduction in accidents, claims and the costs associated with them and various economic benefits. These benefits will be added to those of management (with better business efficiency), legal (with enhanced protections regarding corporate responsibility) and image (with a strong recognition of innovative character and social responsibility to be asserted against the competition).

END OF WASTE

Directive 2018/851/EU significantly amended the parent waste directive and rewrote Article 6 of Directive 2008/98/EC on End of Waste.

The End of Waste is a process of recovery of waste at the end of which it loses this qualification and becomes a “product” in compliance with precise criteria defined by the Legislator.

With this intervention on Article 6 of the 2008 Directive, the Commission allows Member States, where no criteria have been established at EU level, to establish detailed criteria on the application of end-of-status conditions for certain types of waste.

Article 6(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC establishes the following concept of End of Waste:

“Member States shall take appropriate measures to ensure that waste that has undergone a recycling or other recovery operation ceases to be waste if it fulfils the following conditions:

  1. the substance or object is intended to be used for a specific purpose;
  2. there is a market or demand for that substance or object;
  3. the substance or object meets the technical requirements for the specific purposes and complies with existing legislation and standards applicable to products; and
  4. the use of the substance or object will not lead to overall negative impacts on the environment or human health.

The criteria shall include, if necessary, limit values for pollutants and shall take into account all possible adverse effects on the environment of the substance or object.”

The measures taken by the Member States, as well as those of the Commission, ensure a high level of protection of the environment and human health and facilitate the prudent and rational use of natural resources.

They provide specifications with reference to:

  • the incoming waste materials eligible for the recovery operation;
  • the permitted processing processes and techniques;
  • the quality criteria for end-of-waste materials obtained from the recovery operation in line with the applicable product standards, including limit values for pollutants, if necessary;
  • the requirements for management systems to demonstrate compliance with end-of-waste criteria, including quality control, self-monitoring and accreditation, where applicable;
  • declaration of conformity.

Ministerial Decree 22/2020 – Recovery of Paper and Cardboard

Plants that want to produce “recovered paper” have 180 days to reorganize their production process and submit an application to the competent authority for an update of their authorization.

These detailed criteria shall take into account all possible adverse effects on the environment and human health of the substance or object and shall meet the EoW requirements of the Directive.

In this context, Ministerial Decree no. 188 of 22 September 2020 of the Ministry of the Environment and Protection of Land and Sea is hinged, regulating the cessation of the status of paper and cardboard waste, pursuant to Article 184-ter, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree no. 152 of 3 April 2006.

Ministerial Decree 152/2022 – Recovery of inert waste from Construction and Demolition

  On 15 July 2022, the Ministry of Economic Development (now MASE) signed the Regulation on the discipline for the end of waste status of inert construction and demolition waste pursuant to Article 184-ter, Legislative Decree 152/2006.

On 4 November 2022, the new Regulation on the discipline for the end of  waste status of inert construction and demolition waste approved by Ministerial Decree 152/2022  came into force.

Following the monitoring period that expired in November 2023 to update and monitor the End of Waste Inserts Regulation, the Ministerial Decree has been confirmed.

IAS REGISTER has obtained Accreditation for the issuance of Quality Management System Certifications according to ISO 9001 – (QMS), Code EA/IAF 24 “Recycling” in the “End of Waste” area in June 2024.

It offers the market its certification services for the above-mentioned Regulations, working with technicians with many years of experience in the reference sector.
