A chamber with ultraviolet lamps that speeds up the ageing effect of sunlight.
A chamber that fills with a fine salt mist.
A chamber that sprays water onto products from different angles.
A sealed chamber that keeps fine dust circulating around the product.
Bending, twisting, drops and vibration.
A rig that repeatedly winds, bends and twists flexible products.
A rig that drops products and their packaging from a set height.
A vibration table for packed goods.
Output, colour and spectrum.

04 · Quality management
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It sets out how an organisation should plan, run, check and improve its work, so that its products consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.
Certification means an independent certification body has audited the system against the standard. Artcolor holds ISO 9001 certification for its quality management system.

Original certificate image to be added.
Written procedures for how work is done, and records that show it was.
Materials, production and finished goods are checked against requirements.
Records link each product to its materials and production batch.
Nonconforming output is identified and kept apart; its cause is found and corrected.
Feedback and complaints are recorded, answered and acted on.
The Plan–Do–Check–Act cycle, repeated.
We control the whole process, from product design and R&D to manufacturing.
