Certification

SBW prolongs ISO certificate   Recently SBW underwent its annual ECAS audit for the ISO 9001:2000 certificate. The audit went well and the certificate has been successfully prolonged. SBW has had the ISO 9001-certificate since1997; as the first tissue culture company in The Netherlands. In the first years the ISO-system (ISO 9001:1994) was mainly concerned with duplication of the production process, with the new ISO 9001:2000 the continuous improvement also a norm component.
SBW had already made headway in this area by producing virus tested source material in 1995. In cooperation with the former NAKB this led to the implementation of the Naktuinbouw Elite ® -system. Since 2002 SBW is recognised Naktuinbouw company.   Participation in this system means that SBW may produce SEE-plants. These plants are tested for all diseases known to infect these plants, and are homogenous and fount to be true to type according to the Naktuinbouw specification and control. Plants that have this Naktuinbouw Elite ® -certificate can be supplied world wide..   SBW is recognised by NAK Agro for the production of certified potato plants. Also SBW is authorised to put plants that are imported from outside the EU into quarantine. The customer imports the in vitro material; SBW puts it into quarantine and organises the PD tests. Annual audits are also carried out by Naktuinbouw, NAK Agro en PD at SBW.
