QUALITY ASSURANCE & ACCREDITATION
OUR AIM
Our aim is to achieve total customer satisfaction and compliance under all governing bodies – at a competitive cost.
To ensure these policies are successfully implemented, our staff are trained to identify customer needs and ensure that the correct procedures are followed to meet those requirements. We have a commitment to operating Patton Engineering Limited and Patton Painting and Blasting under the disciplines and control of a Quality Assurance System that conforms to the requirements of the Construction Industry Quality Standard.
We are accredited with AS/NZS ISO 3834 certification for quality systems for our welding, and we have three in-house welding supervisors qualified to AS/NZS 2214. This allows us to do in-house and on-site visual inspections as well as being able to write and qualify our own bespoke welding procedures to suit any application, and specific codes. We also have an in-house Magnetic Particle Inspector.
ISO 14001 standard provides guidance on how to consider multiple aspects of your business procurement, storage, distribution, product development, manufacturing, etc.- so that it reduces its impact on the environment. It also drives you to evaluate how you manage emergency response, customer expectations, stakeholders and your relationships with your local community.
SSC Chartered Membership supports businesses in advancing sustainability, aligning with the SSC Charter and Sustainable Development Goals. It’s recognized in NZ Green Building Council's Green Star rating and includes an evolving audit scheme, set for submission in February 2025. The program offers tools and resources through the Knowledge Hub, helping SMEs meet industry and government expectations while building skills and capacity. CEO Troy Coyle emphasizes its role in identifying improvement areas and providing support for sustainable growth.
Steel Fabricator Certification (SFC) is a certification scheme to ensure participating steel fabricators have the capability to manufacture product of the necessary quality. SFC provides procurers and specifiers with not only greater certainty of product quality, but that they are dealing with a fabricator who has proven procedures and personnel that, together, represent international best practice.
A key feature of this standard is the requirement to ensure that people with welding responsibilities are competent to discharge those responsibilities. This is achieved by incorporation of another standard: ISO 14731 “Welding Co-ordination – Tasks and responsibilities”.
