Klondike Announces ISO 9001:2000 Certification – A First in the Soft Foam Play Industry

Pinehurst, NC, USA : Klondike announced today that the company’s Management System has been awarded an ISO 9001:2000 Certificate of Registration by BSI Management Systems Inc., the world leader in ISO registration. 

This declaration marks the first of its kind by any soft foam play company: Klondike is the world’s first and only ISO 9001:2000 certified soft foam play manufacturer.   

ISO 9001 is an International Quality Standard.  To become ISO certified, a company must have an accredited third-party rigorously audit its Quality Management System and confirm that the program conforms to ISO’s international standards.   ISO 9001 registered companies must do more than make claims about quality: they must demonstrate their commitment to quality and have this commitment independently evaluated. 

To gain and maintain certification, Klondike’s Quality Management System has been, and will continue to be, assessed and approved by BSI Management Systems Inc.  Reviews examine all facets of Klondike’s business – design, manufacturing, installation and service – to ensure a company-wide devotion to internationally recognized quality standards.  

Klondike’s ISO 9001:2000 certification assures clients that their Klondike play systems are manufactured per regulatory, safety and design requirements.  Klondike’s total commitment to quality is also evidenced by the company’s industry-leading two-year hassle-free warranty (twice the industry standard).
