ISO 9001 and VCA are certificates that ensure that KTN can demonstrate that HSE and quality receive the necessary attention, now EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 is a standard that inspection companies can use to demonstrate that they meet expertise and independence, among other things. This standard is an accreditation standard. This indicates that this standard can be used by an accreditation body, in Belgium by BELAC (Belac is the abbreviation of the Belgian Accreditation Body. This body falls under the authority of the Belgian Federal Public Service Economy.), to verify whether the quality system of the inspection service meets the criteria. This can be shown by means of an EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 certificate.
In other words, an extra guarantee for our customers and potential customers that KTN meets this standard.

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard that combines all the expertise and know-how in quality management of the last decades in one document. The ISO standard has since grown into a true benchmark for transparency, reliability and quality within any organization. Today ISO 9001 is a well-known concept in almost every sector. The ISO 9001 management standard requires organizations to describe, analyze, measure and continuously improve their processes. As a result, all stakeholders have a better understanding of their role and how they contribute to the success of their organization, which in turn increases internal quality awareness. But that can only be done through a process-based approach.
Whereas in the past the legislator mainly focused the attention of companies on the safety and health of its own employees, the Welfare Act of 4 August 1996 ha broadened the scope to work with third parties. After all, in these situations, clear agreements must be made in order to safeguard the safety, health and well-being of all those involved. The client must ensure that the contractor (the contractor or contractor) takes the necessary preventive measures when carrying out the work. In addition, every client also has the duty to keep out unsafe contractors. How all this is to be done is not stated by the Law. It is up to the client to find the appropriate way for this. One of the options he has is to call on contractors who have a label, attestation or certificate that demonstrates the application of a safety management system. This can then be achieved with a VCA certificate.
ISO 9712 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel who perform industrial non-destructive testing (NDT).
The certification system is controlled by certification bodies accredited according ISO 17024, one of these certification bodies is Hobéon SKO. Training and examination is part of the qualification and certification process and is delegated by the certification body to recognized training and examination centers. KTN Belgium is one of the by Hobéon SKO recognized training and examination centers for NDT training and examination according ISO 9712.
