Continuous improvements and regular internal reviews ensure that the internal processes within Leica Geosystems are clearly structured and traceable. With the recent ISO recertification, issued by an external, accredited assessment and certification body, customers now also have an independent validation that the highest quality standards are met at every stage of the development and production process.

The Quality and Environmental Management System of Leica Geosystems has been recertified to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 compliance for the development, manufacture, distribution, support and service of products, precision tools and systems for geomatics, industrial, machine control and construction applications with zero non-conformities.

Fulfilling Requirements

ISO 9001:2008 specifies the requirements for a company’s quality management system where the organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer needs. ISO 14001:2004 sets the criteria for an environmental management system to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and minimse environmental impact.

At Leica Geosystems, quality is not just about products; it also applies to all company processes. All the global production facilities have fulfilled the requirements of ISO 14001, demonstrating the company’s strong commitment to environmental requirements, according to Jürgen Dold, president and CEO of Leica Geosystems.

Leica Geosystems received its first ISO 9001 certification in 1985 and its first ISO 14001 certification in 1998. The company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to quality and environmental sustainability and has continuously developed its processes and systems. The company subsequently received certifications for its worldwide sales and service organisations. With this recent recertification, Leica Geosystems combines all these certificates under one global certification scheme. The transition to a global certificate is an important step to further align the internal processes globally, said Gerhard Heimlinger, director quality management of Leica Geosystems.
