| QUALITY ASSURANCE AT EVERY MANUFACTURING STAGEAlthough gas springs are often a small component of the overall equipment package which they are included in, their function and reliability are paramount to the performance of the system as a whole. For this reason, DESTEK operates a stringent quality assurance system, which ensures that scrupulous attention to detail is built in at every stage of design and manufacture of our products.
ACCREDITATIONDestek is committed to achieving its quality objective of “zero defects” in all areas. We base our efforts on very high international quality standards. A consistent and strong quality management system throughout all phases from design to manufacturing ensures the highest product safety possible. Audits in all departments ensure that our high quality standards are checked and monitored on a regular basis.
DESTEK operates a quality assurance system, certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS16949:2009 requirements.
Beside these quality and system certifications; designing, manufacturing and testing of Destek Gas Springs have been approved according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) also known as PED. The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) replaces all previous European legislative laws covering designing, manufacturing and testing of pressure vessels.
