NORD FLUID begins 2022 by obtaining two ISO Certifications: ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems (QMS) and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. This confirms the Group’s attention to all the processes and resources that ensure quality and workplace safety for employees and staff; standards always aimed at the continuous improvement (Kaizen) of business processes, forming the basis for strategic planning aimed at improving and optimizing company standards. The certifying body is the company TÜV Hessen.
As of 1 January 2022, all companies belonging to the ‘NORD FLUID Family Company’ are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and NORD FLUID also to ISO 45001:2018.
International Certification ISO 9001:2015
But what is ISO 9001:2015? ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). As such, ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) and the most widely used QMS standard in the world, with over 1.1 million certificates issued to organisations in 178 countries. Its achievement means that the company in question embraces a structure and a set of principles that guarantee a common-sense approach to the management of its organisation, an approach that aims to satisfy both customers and all other interested parties in a logic that is always based on the sustainability of the actions introduced over time.
In the words of Eric Emmanuel Schmitt: ‘A man is the product of choices and circumstances. No one has power over circumstances, but everyone has power over their choices’.

International Certification ISO 45001:2018
In the same family, but with different goals and objectives, is the International Certification ISO 45001:2018, the first certifiable ISO standard on occupational health and safety management systems. Put another way: while ISO 9001 has to do with Quality Management Systems, ISO 45001 is the worldwide international standard for occupational health and safety, i.e. the standard issued to protect employees and occasional visitors from all kinds of work-related accidents and illnesses.
ISO 45001 Certification, as a completely voluntary standard (as is in the spirit of all ISO Certifications), complements what is already provided for by Legislative Decree 81/2008: the ultimate goal, therefore, is to implement an occupational health and safety management system that succeeds in adding new elements (both activity and analysis) to what organisations already do in relation to the requirements of the Legislative Decree 81/2008 – Consolidated Work Safety Act .
In other words, the objective of the ISO 45001 certification is to contain, or better mitigate, all those factors that could pose a risk of causing irreparable harm to employees and companies, namely injuries, illnesses and, in extreme situations, even death — harmful factors that represent a danger not only to workers’ physical wellbeing but also to their mental wellbeing, in addition to the provisions already implemented by Legislative Decree 81/2008. 81/2008.
In other words, the objective of ISO 45001 certification is to contain — or better yet, mitigate — all those factors that could pose a risk of causing harm to employees and companies, such as injuries, illnesses, harmful factors or those that represent a danger not only to workers’ physical wellbeing but also to their mental wellbeing, in addition to the provisions already implemented by Legislative Decree 81/2008. 81/2008.
Obtaining this Certification is further proof that the company is attentive and responsible towards its staff, and therefore that it has equipped itself with the necessary control tools to make its site(s) a healthy and safe working environment for all those who more or less occasionally visit it every day.

NORD FLUID is a benchmark for safety and quality.
NORD FLUID is a benchmark for safety and quality. Among its Guidelines, we would like to highlight one in particular:
“We expect from our employees a great spirit of initiative, that they are ready to take on responsibilities, eager to work, open to innovation and flexible. From our managers, we expect a cautious and far-sighted attitude, who identify with the company’s objectives and who are endowed with exemplary leadership.”
With over 35 years of experience, NORD FLUID is committed to its future sustainability. The achievement of ISO Certifications (9001:2015, 45001:2018) only confirms what has always characterized the company’s approach. At NORD FLUID, we pursue excellence through a path of continuous improvement: up-to-date technical expertise, reliable partners and ongoing training are the foundations that allow us to offer professionalism, responsiveness and innovative solutions in meeting needs, expectations, desires and interests. Equally important, therefore, is the monitoring of all the set of elements (processes and resources) that are implemented to establish and carry out the quality policy (Quality Management Systems) and finally — though certainly not least in importance — the protection and workplace safety of all guests, employees and staff.
In NORDFLUID things don’t happen. We make them happen. We continue to have our dreams and hold on to them. For each of us, every day is an opportunity given to us to improve and grow.
